Your Northeastern Huskies traveled North tonight to tackle the College of New Hampshire Wildcats on the Whittemore Middle Area of their final sport of this calendar 12 months. It was a defensive tug-of-war for roughly 56 minutes earlier than NU cashed in to move to their vacation break on the precise aspect of a 2-0 street win.
Oh, you noticed the goose egg that UNH put up did you? About that; it’s simply the 4th shutout within the eighth sport of Lisa Jönsson’s NCAA profession. Now I’m not a math man, however should you’re clocking a shutout in, by my calculations, 50% of your begins I’d say that’s fairly good. Oh yeah, she’s additionally the defending Hockey East Participant of the Month for November. Not an enormous deal.
However let’s get again to the sport. It was a fast-paced affair with possibilities at each ends, however each Jönsson and Sedona Blair (within the ‘Cats’ internet), have been as much as the duty. NU had the sting in each offensive class, however going into the third the groups have been knotted at gooses. Really UNH had a objective wiped off the board within the first (when it was put residence with a excessive stick), so there was no fish toss tonight. I imply the one Carp we need to see at these video games is that good-looking bearded satan behind the NU bench.
As I mentioned, NU had the sting statistically, however in addition they dominated the offensive zone time. The sport appeared way more even when UNH was on the PP, trigger yeah it was that lopsided. And each groups started working on their particular groups tonight for positive. The squads mixed for six man benefits, however neither might remedy the goalies. I imply, this wasn’t even her greatest save of the night time however look how simple Jönsson makes it look.
So the groups went deep into the third deadlocked at zeroes. And that’s when Morgan Jackson entered the chat. Ms. Jackson (yeah I’m calling her that trigger that drive and dish was NASTY) broke down the LW and dusted 2 UNH defenders with a great thing about an inside out transfer earlier than placing an ideal sauce over to Éloïse Caron for the put away. I imply the endurance of Ms. Jackson to carry that puck and let the defender drop after which an ideal move to Caron who was driving the online with goal. So sick. Oh yeah, they’re each freshman (PS: and so is the goalie!)
That was all of the Huskies wanted nevertheless it was good to see Jaden Bogden get the ENG to reward her for all of the onerous work she’s put on this season to this point. Speak about The Hockey Gods rewarding a hard-working participant. And once more, nice poise by Caron to not get rattled by the thrown tossed dropped stick.
So your Huskies head to the break with a 10-6-1 report and tied for 2nd place with BC within the Hockey East standings. It’s time for the staff to get just a little R&R over the vacations and are available again refreshed for a weekend of Merrimack (Fri 1/3) and Holy Cross (Sat 1/4). For these on the squad which are sticking within the space for the break: if you wish to get a skate in and really feel actually good about your sport let me know and I’ll get you on the market with the beer league beauties I play with.
Additionally need to give a fast shout out to Taylor Guarino for making her season debut tonight!
Oh yeah, one final thing. My daughter requested me to share this video of Kristina Allard doing the worm in full sport gear. She was very impressed and instructed me to inform Allard that “she might be knowledgeable dancer”. At all times good to have a backup plan Kristina.
