WESTFIELD, Mass. – Sophomore center Jesper Seeberg (Lake Worth, Fla.) scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner as Westfield State scored twice in the final five minutes to emerge with a 4-2 win over Western Connecticut State University in a non-conference game at the Danbury Ice Arena on Friday afternoon to start 2026.
Seeberg opened the scoring with the first goal of the game in the first period, then broke a 2-2 tie with 4:48 remaining in the game, scoring with assists from Raphael Seguin (Saint Lazare, QC) and Julian Boisclair (Voorhees, N.J.) to put the Owls on top, 3-2.
Xavier Tremblay (Sainte Adele, QC) added an empty netter with 15 seconds left in the third for the final margin.
Westfield improved to 8-4 on the season, while WestConn, a first-year NCAA Division 3 program, dropped to 1-10 on the season.
The match stats were relatively even with the Wolves holding a 33-32 edge in shots, but Westfield won 39 faceoffs to WestConn's 30. The Owls were 1-1 on the power play while the Wolves were 0-2.
Westfield State first-year goalkeeper Russ DeCoste (Enfield, Nova Scotia) made 31 saves for the Owls to earn the win in his first collegiate start. WestConn's Liam Lane stopped 28 shots.
