Recap
Junior Mel McAleer registered a goal and an assist in Nichols College's 4-2 win over Becker College Friday night in Colonial Hockey Conference (CHC) action Friday night at Levy Rink.

Nichols struck again at the 18:52 mark in the first period to extend the lead to 2-0 after sophomore Alicia Hunks found the back of the net off a rebound shot from McAleer. The Hawks got on the board shortly after with just nine seconds left in the period to cut the Bison's lead to 2-1 going into the first intermission.
