A Big Win For Uconn!
On Saturday Night, February 19, my dad, me, and five of our friends went to get pizza then we went to a Uconn Hockey game. We had pizza at Red Rock and then just talked until it was time to head to the rink. It wasn’t cold inside and I only needed my coat. When the game got started, the action started quickly as Uconn scored in the first three minutes, but Bentley tied the game less than a minute later. A few minutes later the score was 2-2. Uconn took the lead when a shot was made on the Bentley net and was saved, but it went up into the air. Jordan Sims knocked it up higher and the Bentley goalie caught it, but dropped it in the net. We were worried that they wouldn’t count it, but a couple minutes later, the score changed to Uconn 3, Bentley 2.
During the first intermission, my friend Alex got to go on the ice. Him and his contestant were neck and neck until Alex had trouble putting on the gloves. The second period started off great for Uconn as they scored a goal early in the period. Since they scored, the faceoff was played at center ice. It was won by Uconn’s Jeff Saphiea, who handed it over to Corey Jendras, who passed it to a Uconn player who scored to give Uconn back-back goals and a 5-2 lead! Bentley would score before the period ended, but Uconn still had the lead.
The third period was uneventful, until Bentley scored with 15 seconds remaining in the game. But Uconn scored with 1 second remaining in the game, with a goal from Jordan Sims, to make the final score 6-4 in favor of Uconn. We all had a lot of fun that night, but with Uconn winning, the night was even better.
