Playing less than an hour from home and in front of his extended family, Icers senior center Ryan Paradis put on a show in the Icers' 5-2 victory over NCAA D-II Southern New Hampshire in the opening round of the PAL Stovepipe Tournament in Manchester, NH.
The Icers opened the scoring against the host team when Marek Polidor scored his 8th of the season at 14:01 of the second period. But the Penmen responded 46 seconds later, then took the lead at the 16:41 mark of the middle frame.
With under a minute to go in the period Paradis, the Rochester, NH native, was sent in alone on a great pass from John Conte. Ryan roofed a backhand to the glove side of Penmen goalie Mike Mastracci to send the teams to the locker rooms tied 2-2 after 2 periods.
Penn State owned the third, scoring three unanswered goals to put the game away. Polidor picked up his 2nd of the game and his 2 power play goal at 2:38. Joe Zitarelli went top shelf as well, notching his 2nd of the year to make it 4-2 at 7:13.
Fittingly, Paradis finished off the scoring with his 7th of the season and his first power play goal at 11:46.
Paradis added two assists to the pair of goals, garnering first star selection. Polidor was the second star, with two goals and an assist, while Paul Daley was the third star with two assists and another solid two-way effort.
The Icers outshot the Penmen 42-18. Check out the complete box score here.
The Icers will face U-Mass Boston in the championship game at 4:30 on Sunday. The Beacons beat up on D-II Stonehill College 7-2. As Scott Balboni said in the post-game interview, the team can't be tentative like they were in the first period on Saturday.
