Circle These Dates
- 2/3 (vs. Boston University): For the second consecutive season, this season-opening matchup went to overtime. The Friars lost both of those games. Providence scored nine goals in the first half, but only two in the second half.
- 2/23 (at Saint Joseph’s): Seven total goals in last year’s meeting. The Hawks scored the lone goal in the first before five goals were scored in the second. After none were scored in the third, Sean Leahey scored the eventual game-winner with 6:39 left. There should be more than seven goals scored altogether this year.
- 3/24 (vs. Drexel): Like the BU series, the previous two meetings with the Dragons have gone to overtime. In both games, the home team has won. It’s been one of the more entertaining nonconference games, even if these two programs aren’t up in the national rankings every year.
- 4/13 (vs. Marquette): Providence led by four with 2:26 to go in the game and appeared to be on their way to a big win in conference play. But the Golden Eagles scored four unanswered goals, including one right in the final second of regulation, to force overtime. John Wagner completed the Marquette comeback with 3:46 left in overtime.
- 4/16 (vs. Brown): Right after their overtime disappointment against Marquette, the Friars rebounded with their first ever win over Brown, which also came in overtime. Providence scored two goals in the fourth quarter to erase a two-goal Bear lead before Leahey sealed the huge win for the program.
