Kevin Jarman chipped in a rebound 7:40 into overtime, lifting Massachusetts to a 1-0 victory over Clarkson in the first round of the NCAA ice hockey tournament Friday.

Jon Quick stopped 33 shots to register the third shutout of his career, while helping the Minutemen (21-12-5) earn a win in their tournament debut.

Clarkson (25-9-5), the East region’s top seed, had a five game win streak snapped after winning the ECAC championship. The Golden Knights, making their 19th tournament appearance and first since 1999, have now lost four straight first-round games – their last win coming in 1996.

UMass’ Will Ortiz set up the decisive play by digging the puck out from behind the Clarkson net and feeding it into the slot. Clarkson goalie David Leggio stopped Jordan Virtue’s backhander, but couldn’t coral the rebound.

Jarman got to the puck first, chipping it over a sprawled Leggio and in off the crossbar.

The Minutemen will play Hockey East rival Maine in the regional final on Saturday after the third-seeded Black Bears defeated St. Cloud State 4-1.

The outcome marked only the second time in tournament history that a game has entered overtime scoreless. The first time it happened was last year when Wisconsin beat Cornell 1-0 in triple overtime.

Clarkson out-shot UMass 18-7 in the second period but couldn’t get one by Quick. The Golden Knights’ best chance of the period came when Steve Zalewski drove through the middle and snapped a shot that had Quick beat, but caught the left post.

Quick’s best save came 6 minutes into the third when he got his left skate out to stop Zalewski attempting to convert a rebound from the slot.

Leggio stopped 37 shots, his best save coming 13 minutes into the second period, when he kicked out his right pad to rob Alex Berry’s sharp one-timer from the high slot.
