Your Northeastern Huskies welcomed within the Boston College Terriers to Historic Matthews Area for a uncommon (non-Beanpot) Tuesday evening tilt. It took 60 minutes plus, however the Terriers prevailed 3-2 in extra time in entrance of a largely topless Doghouse.
The Huskies continued to roll with 5 D and a couple of further forwards in entrance of Lisa Jönsson within the NU web. On the different finish of the sheet it was Callie Shanahan in search of some Beanpot redemption. It was a superb tempo to open up with loads of transition and loads of stickwork behind the play. I imply what else would you anticipate from these two squads?
The perimeters took turns with zone entry, turnovers and again out the opposite approach for almost all of the opening body. BU didn’t get a shot on web till 8min performed whereas NU didn’t land their first on web till previous halfway level.
Kaileigh Quigg put the Terriers on the board when she cashed in on a Lindsay Bochna rebound whereas camped on Jönsson’s doorstep. A turnover within the impartial zone despatched the Terriers in 2:1 and identical to that the Huskies have been chasing.
That rating held till the primary intermission as neither aspect might get sustained time within the different’s offensive zone. Impartial ice was the place to be for the rest of this one as that’s the place all of the cool youngsters have been hanging out.
Within the center body the NU traces went into the blender however the outcomes have been the identical. The refs have been letting all of the ticks-tacky stuff go… till they didn’t. First Morgan Jackson was referred to as for when the BU participant dropped their stick slashing after which whereas on the PK, Skylar Irving performed the puck in a BU defender’s skates on the forecheck and he or she was whistled off. Impulsively it’s a 5:3 energy play for over a minute?? The Huskies have been as much as the problem…. virtually. With seconds left on the kill, BU doubled up the rating.
The Huskies have been overloaded on the defensive RW and the puck popped to Clara Yuhn within the slot and he or she beat Jönsson over the blocker. Ruh-Roh. Down a pair to a really hungry BU staff.
The Huskies entered the third down 2-0 and outshot 25-10. And don’t even get me began on their face-off proportion! The Terriers have been maintaining the Huskies on the surface and giving them little or no web entrance presence throughout 5 on 5 play. Time was winding down, would this be it for our heroes? Is that this the place the hearts and minds of the Doghouse was misplaced? Worry not Pricey Reader, these Dawgs wouldn’t roll over and present their bellies simply but.
Jules Constantinople galloped out of her personal defensive zone with dangerous intentions and tempo, transferring the puck to Taze Thompson within the impartial zone and headed straight to Shanahan’s blue paint. Thompson drove extensive on the LW and put the puck to Constantinople on the high of the crease, her bid was denied, however the puck popped to Ella Blackmore cruising the slot. The Honey Badger tucked the rebound over Shanahan’s glove to place the Huskies on the board.
Then with beneath 5 minutes in regulation, Allie Lalonde entered the chat. Mia Langlois moved the puck to Tuva Kandell on the left level and he or she put the shot on web, far pad: excellent placement. The puck rebounded to Lalonde within the slot and he or she’s not lacking from there. Tie recreation.
The rating held till extra time and in the course of the 3 on 3 play, the Huskies did their finest beer league impression as they bundled one another a number of occasions. Ultimately, it was Alex Regulation who referred to as recreation. Regulation broke down the LW in opposition to some drained Husky defenders and beat Jönsson over the blocker far aspect.
Some observations from across the rink:
- Mia Langlois put her mark on this recreation with restricted minutes. Ms. No-Nickname was concerned on each shift and stood out along with her alternatives.
- Lily Yovetich was lively on an early PK with a number of stick checks and he or she was making her presence felt all evening along with her physicality.
- Holly Abela doing her regular Holly Abela issues on the PK going 1:3 and freezing the puck within the BU finish.
- Kristina Allard and Tory Mariano had their skating legs going tonight. The two of them have been everywhere in the ice.
- Jules Constantinople with a fantastic “unintended” physique verify because the horn sounded for the primary interval.
- Mattie Robitzer with a giant glove save on the bench early within the 2nd saved Eric some chiclets.
- A bit birdie instructed me that the referee unit from Saturday’s recreation vs. UConn have been suspended. If true glad to see individuals being held accountable. If not true, possibly strive it?
The Huskies head as much as Maine for a Friday evening tilt earlier than having fun with a Saturday off.
