Your Northeastern Huskies hosted the Holy Cross Crusaders for the again half of their residence and residential collection earlier this night at Historic Matthews Enviornment. In comparison with final evening’s tilt, this was a comparatively calm and orderly affair with the Huskies popping out on high, profitable 4-2 in regulation.
In web for the Huskies was Lisa Jönsson, making her 2nd NCAA begin and notching her first dub as a Husky. It was a a lot better begin for the Hometown Heroes as they matched the tempo and vitality that Holy Cross delivered to open final evening’s recreation. Of their defensive zone, NU stored HC on the perimeter and the Huskies had lengthy stretches of sustained assault within the Crusaders finish.
The groups ended the primary knotted at gooses and statistically the Huskies had the sting with SOG and had been dominant on the dot with a 68.4% win fee. The second noticed the play even out extra as every workforce had their probabilities however Jönsson and HC netminder Brooke Loranger had been as much as the duty and shutting down all scoring makes an attempt.
A late push by Holy Cross put the Crusaders on the board first as Lulu Rourke cashed in on a unfastened puck within the excessive slot. HC attacked the NU zone and the rebound popped to Rourke trailing the play and he or she beat the sprawled out Jönsson for the early lead.
That rating held into the ultimate body earlier than Lily Shannon evened issues up. Taze Thompson carried the puck down the LW and dogwalked a Crusader defender earlier than discovering Shannon within the slot. Shannon had an ideal re-direct from one knee: over the glove excessive cheese and we had a tie recreation.
The Huskies put the traces in a blender for the third interval and it paid off on the Shannon aim and it paid off a couple of minutes afterward Ella Blackmore’s aim. It was all Huskies after they tied it up and with a drained HC protection on the ice, the Honey Badger made them pay. Blackmore walked in from the LW wall and went far aspect previous the glove to place the Huskies forward.
With simply over 7 minutes to go on this one, The OG, the Nailgun herself and the Satisfaction of Hockey City cashed in for her first profession aim as a Husky. After profitable a face-off within the HC zone on the RW, Lily Brazis drifted in direction of the slot as Holly Abela labored the puck to her from the tip wall. With ice in her veins, Brazis deposited the puck over the blocker.
Hold the change, it’s an excellent aim.
And, since I’m a person of my phrase Brazis, right here’s your image:
Holy Cross received one again with 3:50 left to play after a goalie change, when Charlotte Sonntag adopted her shot and stuffed residence her personal rebound to drag the Crusaders inside a aim.
Holy Cross pulled the goalie (hoping for some Husky magic from final evening I’d assume), however The Hockey Gods reward arduous work and Jaden Bogden potted the ENG to salt this one away. Bogden was all around the ice tonight and received her simply reward with the put away.
Some ideas from across the rink:
- Tuva Kandell made some nice performs tonight and had an enormous eat late within the recreation to maintain the Crusaders off the board.
- Exterior of the ENG, the highest line didn’t present up on the scoresheet. If this was the kind of play NU can get WITHOUT the large canines?
- Your entire D corp was wheeling tonight. Lily Yovetich, Tory Mariano, Kristina Allard, Jules Constantinople, Rylie Jones, Tristan Thompson and Kandell all had their legs going with their heads up the entire evening.
- Mia Langlois had her greatest interval of the season within the opening body. With Brazis cashing in late, and Molly Griffin looking the puck throughout, the objectives will begin coming in bunches for this line.
- Stick faucets for Alexia Moreau as she needed to be helped off the ice on this one. Hope she’s okay.
The Huskies get again at it subsequent on Friday evening at Windfall.
A bit of further like to Brazis trigger she’s def earned it.
