News mentions
Worcester, Mass. - With a top seed in the MASCAC Tournament up for grabs, the Lancers hosted Framingham State Thursday evening in their second to last home game of the regular season. The game was in conjunction with the Ellie Fund, Fund, a local non profit that was created to provide essential support services for breast cancer patients in Massachusetts to ease the stresses of everyday life, allowing the focus to be on family, recovery and healing. The game ended as a historical night as the Lancers’ victory over the Rams marks the first time in their history that the Worcester State Men’s Ice Hockey program has 10 wins in the MASCAC.
Worcester, MA- Coming off a pair of wins to start 2023, the Worcester State University Men’s Hockey team paid conference foes Westfield State University another visit this evening looking to continue the stretch of victories. The Owls and Lancers last met in mid-December at the DCU Center in a game in which Worcester State was able to come away with a 5-2 victory, and though the venue differed tonight, the result did not as the Lancers once again came out on top.
