CANTON, Mass. - The #15 Curry College men's ice hockey team suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Nichols College Friday evening in Commonwealth Coast Conference action at the Canton Ice House.

With the defeat, the Colonels fall to 3-2-1 overal on the season and 3-2-0 in the CCC.

Both teams found the back of the net in the first period, as the frame came to an end with a level 1-1 score. Curry's goal was scored by sophomore Manny Cabral (Providence, R.I.), who scored on the rebound at the 11:42 mark. Grabbing assists on the play were sophomores Jesse Galassi (Lockport, N.Y.) and Ben Biester (Danville, Calif.).
