Regan, Almon Duel To Draw As Minutemen, Big Green Tie 0-0 Sunday, December 14, 1997 AMHERST, MASS. -- Senior Brian Regan made 33 saves for UMass-Amherst and sophomore Eric Almon stopped 37 for Dartmouth as the two sides skated to a 0-0 tie on Sunday afternoon at the Mullins Center. The game marked the first scoreless tie for the Minutemen since a scoreless draw at Bates on Jan. 29, 1927, and is Dartmouth's first 0-0 tie since a contest against Yale on Feb. 8, 1941. UMass-Amherst held a 37-33 edge in shots on goal during the game, including a decisive 8-2 overtime advantage. The best scoring chance for the Minutemen in the game came 3:20 into the third period, when a 40-foot power-play slapshot by junior Steve MacKinnon rang off the post past Almon's glove. Dartmouth's best scoring attempt came during a two-on-one break midway through the overtime session, but junior Curtis Wilgosh saw his shot sail high over the Minuteman net. For Regan, the shutout was the first of the season and second of his career, the other coming on Nov. 22, 1996 against Army. This was the second shutout this year for Almon, who now has two in his career as well, the other coming on Nov. 8 at Union. Appropriately, Regan and Almon shared the game's number-one star. The Minutemen now stand at 2-11-2 on the year, while the Big Green is 2-3-2.
