Girls and Gents, girls and boys, hockey followers of all ages: Your Northeastern Huskies girls’s hockey workforce is again and child they’re undefeated! The 2024-2025 ‘Dawgs rolled into Completely happy Valley for a pair in opposition to the Penn State Nittany Lions and put the primary one away with a 3-1 victory. There was skating, there have been penalties, there have been some elite cellys and yeah, I’m considering the Huskies are again.
Now full disclosure: I used to be unable to truly watch the sport, however due to the magic of stay stats, Twitter updates and the crack video squad at NU: It was like I used to be within the constructing. On an apart, if anybody on the market has a B1G Community account login they’d wish to share with me for tomorrow’s recreation, I’d very a lot respect it.
NU rolled into this one ranked thirteenth nationally (and 2nd in Hockey East) with Penn State a slot above them at 12 within the nationwide ballot. Katelyn Roberts opened the scoring for Penn when her bouncing one-timer off the face-off bounded up and over Paige Taborski‘s glove for his or her solely aim and lead of the evening.
PSU held the lead for about 45 seconds earlier than pal of the pod (and nonetheless The Mayor of Kingston) Skylar Irving scored Northeastern’s first of the marketing campaign. Skirvs took a candy cross zone dish from newcomer Jaden Bogden (thanks Clarkson) and her wrister from the within of the LW circle beat Katie Desa over the glove. Fast stick faucet for Éloïse Caron with the web drive to provoke the play. I imply Skirvs needed to be the chances on favourite for first aim of the 12 months proper?
That rating held till the primary horn and the squads had been in full-on recreation mode as they mixed for 12PIMs in each of the primary 2 intervals. Shout out to Jules Constantinople and Rylie Jones for setting the tempo with 4PIMs every. The nasty rolled into the center body as Lily Shannon received her first cookie of the 12 months on a 5:3 energy play and determined to let the Penn State bench know the way excessive they wanted to be to trip the rollercoaster.
I imply is that this attractive or what? Jones works the puck as much as Lily Yovetich on the high of the umbrella and Yovo and Shannon play catch earlier than Shannon goes one-T close to facet over the shoulder buzz the ear maintain the change. I’ll date myself with this reference, however you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t tug on Superman’s cape and also you don’t fiddle with Lil.
One other contemporary face, Caron, received the ENG to ice this one away and like I at all times say, The Hockey Gods reward arduous work and Caron was hustling all evening. Nice work down within the nook by Bogden to work the puck to the web entrance.
Taborski received the W, which is all she’s performed in her profession at NU, not an enormous deal. And it appears to be like just like the moniker Goaltender U can keep on so long as she’s placing up stat strains like this: 1 aim in opposition to and a .958% save share. I imply, you’d must say that’s fairly fairly good.
The Huskies are proper again at it once more tomorrow afternoon: once more when you have a B1G Community log in, please assist your boy Brownie out would ya?
