The way the first semifinal in Rochester transpired should come as no surprise. Kevin Jarman’s goal 7:40 into overtime broke a scoreless tie and gave Massachusetts 1-0 win over Clarkson and a berth in the East Regional championship game.<\/p>\n

While it was just the third time in NCAA tournament history that a game had ended scoreless through regulation, the play of both netminders this season made it clear that goals were going to be hard to come by in this game.<\/p>\n

UMass goaltender Jon Quick made 33 saves for the shutout, his third of the season. He came into the game already holding the school record for most saves in a season (now at 1020) and sporting a .928 save percentage and a goals against of 2.20. Quick has played in all but two games for the Minutemen this season.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the ice, Clarkson goaltender David Leggio had almost identical numbers coming into the contest: a .929 save percentage and a 2.20 GAA. Leggio also played in all but two games this season. He made 37 saves, which also set a school single season record (1037).<\/p>\n

“We had some Grade A scoring chances,” said Clarkson coach George Roll. “Both goalies were on the top of their game.”<\/p>\n

But in the end, after sixty-seven minutes and forty seconds of scoreless hockey, Clarkson and Leggio blinked first.<\/p>\n

“There’s a fine line between winning and losing,” said Quick. “We learned that last week [3-2 double overtime loss to New Hampshire in the Hockey East semifinals]. It came down to a bounce of the puck.”<\/p>\n

Leggio echoed his counterpart’s comments.<\/p>\n

“I thought I had it covered,” he said. “But it squirted out and (Jarman) made a nice play to put it over me.”<\/p>\n

Both goalies seemed cool and collected throughout, even with so much riding on each save.<\/p>\n

“It was exciting,” said Quick. “I was just doing my best to keep my team in the game. It was a tie game the whole game with good action and both teams battled hard. Anyone who watched will tell you that it was an exciting game.”<\/p>\n

UMass coach Don Cahoon had high praise for his goaltender, who recorded his nineteenth win of the season, also a school record.<\/p>\n

“He’s a very gifted athlete,” he said. “Most people know and recognize that his athleticism is unparalleled as far as I can see. There are a lot of good goalies who are well schooled and have had great games and put together great seasons, but I don’t know if there’s a better athlete at his position.”<\/p>\n

Quick, a sophomore, will play at least one more game this season, while Leggio, a junior, will hang up the skates until next year. Both played a game to remember.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
