Nashua - The Daniel Webster College men’s ice hockey team came up just short in its Northeast Collegiate Hockey Association title defense on Sunday, falling 2-1 to Bates College at Conway Arena in Nashua.

Mike Collette scored the lone Eagles goal in the first period.

The Eagles, who finished the season 0-0-0 overall, outshot the Bobcats 28-27 in the title game, and held that lead through two periods until allowing the tying goal 10 minutes into the third period.

Bates (15-1) finished it off just 1 minute, 51 seconds into overtime for the win.

It was the third victory of the season for the Bobcats over the Eagles including a 2-1 overtime victory at Conway back on February 2nd.

DWC had reached the final with a 5-2 home semifinal win over Springfield on Saturday.

Kevin Scalabrini, a Nashua High School South graduate, had two goals and two assists to lead the Eagles to the win. Ricky Stewart, a Londonderry graduate, added a goal and an assist, as did Collette and Brad Weiser. Andy Smith stopped 24 shots to get the win.

Bates defeated Rhode Island College, 3-2, in the other semifinal.
