Excellent play by Matt Copponi. He had Citara on a 2-on-1 but recognized that Citara was a little behind him coming out of the box. He shot the puck low, far pad, and the rebound went right to Citara. Excellent ready by Copponi and nice finish from Citara.
Merrimack generating some good chances early. Tyler Young with a big bid on the rush. Just now they had some of their best possession of the game with multiple scoring chances. Lowell controlled the first 4-5 minutes.
Welcome inside Lawler Arena. Merrimack and UML will get underway in about 50 minutes. Warmups start in 12 minutes. Tonight's game is broadcast on NESN locally and nationally.

Lowell to the PP. Too many men on Merrimack. I believe the linesman called it.

Huge save by Welsh on Sacco. Great chance for the Warriors on a 2-on-0. Bono to Sacco.
Not a ton happening here. And few whistles. Already 11 minutes gone in the second period.
More up-and-down chances, but i'd say Lowell has had the better of the play. Chances probably even. Lowell has had more possession.
