Overview

  • UConn erased a third-period deficit to defeat No. 9 NPI Quinnipiac 4-2 at Ingalls Rink for its second consecutive CT Ice title.
  • Jake Percival scored the go-ahead goal with 2:27 remaining after Tabor Heaslip’s shorthanded opener and Carlin Dezainde’s tying strike, with an empty-netter closing it out.
  • The victory snapped the Bobcats’ seven-game win streak and elevated the Huskies to 15th in NPI, bolstering their NCAA resume.
  • Goaltender Tyler Muszelik stopped 28 shots as Ryan Tattle was named most outstanding player and became the event’s all-time leading scorer.
  • Debate over CT Ice’s format continues, with UConn advocating for a permanent home at Hartford’s PeoplesBank Arena while other coaches back the campus rotation, and a decision is expected in the spring.
