Union increases lead to 4-0 over Yale after two periods

Max Novak and Josh Jooris scored early in the second period, giving Union a 4-0 lead over Yale after 40 minutes of play in their ECAC Hockey tournament semifinal game at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Novak led a two-on-one rush down the right wing. With Matt Hatch a decoy on the left siode, Novak fired a shot over goalie Jeff Malcolm's left shoulder 21 seconds into the second.

Jooris was in front of the net when he redirected a Matt Wilkins shot from the right-wing boards past Malcolm at 5:00.

Union goalie Troy Grosenick has made 24 saves.

The winner plays Brown in Saturday's title game. Brown upset Quinnipiac, 4-0, in the first game.
