Stonehill College finally got off the schneid last Saturday. The Skyhawks recorded their first-ever victory over an NCAA Division I school by edging fellow independent Lindenwood, 4-2, on Feb. 10 in Easton, Mass.
Jake LaRusso scored two goals for Stonehill, including the game-winner with just over three minutes remaining in the third period. Dylan Meilun made 27 saves for the Skyhawks, who spent the last 10 seasons in the Northeast-10 (NCAA Division II) after playing in the ECAC Northeast since their inception in 1978-79. Stonehill went 0-5 versus NCAA Division I competition last season, its first as a D-I independent, and had been 0-27-0 this season until besting the Lions last week.
The Skyhawks visit LIU for two games this weekend.
