With an empty net behind it, Arizona State hockey chased one more goal in regulation in hopes of sustaining its historic season.
There would be no salvation this time, as the Sun Devils fell to Quinnipiac 2-1 in the regional semifinal of the 2019 NCAA Ice Hockey Championship in Allentown, Pa.
The loss capped the end of a historic season on the ice for the Sun Devils but provided a harsh reminder of the road ahead for a program that seeks to become a national power.
ASU goaltender Joey Daccord led Division I in shutouts this season, but Quinnipiac was able to break through the Sun Devils’ stone wall.
