Coventry beats Portsmouth for Division II hockey state title

Coventry's hockey team beat Portsmouth 4-2 on Saturday afternoon to sweep the Patriots in the Division II best-of-three state championship series at Providence College's Schneider Arena.
Nick Paiva of the Knotty Oakers, the tournament MVP, scored a goal each in the second and third period after the Oakers led 2-0 after the first period.
With the Patriots down 4-0 with less than 12 minutes remaining, Matt Abraham and Henry Lang scored for Portsmouth, but the Patriots couldn't add to their rally to successfully defend their 2010 D-II title.
