The Union men’s hockey team talked this week about playing better on the road.

But once again, the Dutchmen had another poor road showing.

Brown jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead and cruised to a 6-2 ECAC Hockey victory over Union at Meehan Auditorium in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Dutchmen fell to 1-10-1 on the road. They have been outscored 56-22 in those games.

The Bears didn’t waste any time in taking control of the game. Lynden Grandberg scored 2:35 into the game. Union head coach Josh Hauge challenged the goal, believing there was goalie interference. The goal after video review.

Union’s penalty killing woes continued as it gave up two power-play goals. Bradley Cocca scored the first one with 11:30 left in the first. James Crossman skated his way through the Union defense to beat goalie Connor Murphy late in the period.

Union head coach Josh Hauge blamed himself for the team’s lackluster performance.

“I didn’t have the group ready,” Hauge said. “It’s 100% on me. We weren’t focused. We weren’t dialed in. I’ll take the blame for that tonight.”

It didn’t get much better for the Dutchmen in the second period as Jonny Russell scored on a wraparound nearly 2 1/2 minutes into the period. Initially, it appeared that Murphy got his right pad on the puck, and play continued for about another minute. After a stoppage in play, Brown challenged the play, and the replay showed the puck over the line before Murphy got his pad on it.

Caden Villegas got Union on the board with 11:20 left in the second.

The Dutchmen had a chance to get back into it in the third period when they had a two-man advantage for 1:06. But as has been the case, the Dutchmen had more passes than shots on goal.

Ryan Shostak and Brett Bliss added goals in the third for Brown. Tyler Watkins scored Union’s first shorthanded goal of the season with 48.6 seconds left.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” Hauge said. “They showed moments of where we can be a really good hockey team, but then there’s moments of selfishness, there’s moments of not competing to those standards that we’re expecting and it’s my job to figure it out and correct it.”
