The Purple and White came in at 11 in the D3H poll and 13 in USCHO as the only NESCAC team to make both polls. On Monday, Amherst reaped the rewards of their big OOC week and entered the national polls (/USCHO) for the first time since officially dropping their unofficial mascot in January of this year. Overall, the Purple and White had a medley of scores, including a regular strength goal (Johannson), a power play goal (Lindstrom), a short handed goal (Ho) and the aforementioned empty netter.

The Beavers were aggressive with the goallie pull, amassing five and-a-half minutes of extra skater time in the third, including opting for a six on-three skater approach with eight minutes to go on a 5-on-3 power play.

The Beavers were able to get one of their 26 shots past Conor Girard, but it wasn't enough as a Will Vosepka empty net tally with 2:26 remaining sealed the 4-1 victory ( Box).

Beaver goalie Matt Pompa, who was coming off a 41 save performance against Williams on Saturday, was pulled after giving up the third goal. Coach Arena's charges were up to the task, scoring three goals in the first half of the second period after a scoreless first. Things did not get easier the next day as Amherst took on another ranked team (Babson) in the home opener. Gilreath, along with fellow frosh PJ Conlon and Stanley Brenner, scored their first college goals while senior Adam Ellison became the third Amherst goalie to start in the first three games of the season. In the extra frame, frosh Noah Gilreath fired a wrister from the right circle past the glove of the UC goalie for the 6-5 victory. Amherst rallied with two goals within a minute of each other in the final five minutes to force OT. In a back-and-forth affair through two periods, the Pioneers created some breathing room with two goals in the first half of the third. Saturday brought a big matchup at The Aud against the fourth ranked Utica Pioneers, who lost their first game of the season on Friday night. Giancarlo Ventre made 23 saves to earn the win in his first collegiate start while Pat Daly and Thomas Lindstrom scored two goals each. The Purple and White started the week on Tuesday with a 5-1 win ( Box) over frequent whipping post, St.
