\"\"<\/a>On January 28th<\/sup>, my Dad, my sister and I watched UConn\u2019s first televised game since 2010.\u00a0 They were playing the Holy Cross Crusaders, and it was their 100th<\/sup> meeting with the team.\u00a0 Half way through the first period UConn got a 1-0 lead on the Power Play.\u00a0 From the faceoff Cole Schneider took the puck back to the red line, passing it to Sean Ambroise in front of the net, whose shot was blocked but the rebound came right to Billy Latta\u2019s stick who put the puck in the net, to give UConn a power-play goal 4 seconds into the power-play!\u00a0 For the rest of the period, the shots were even, but Holy Cross controlled most of the play.\u00a0 Even so UConn had a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period.<\/p>\n

UConn expanded that lead with a goal half-way through the second period with a goal from Miles Winters.\u00a0 Ryan Tyson charged up the ice with the puck with a Holy Cross defender right in front of him.\u00a0 He had no one to pass to, so he stopped and passed to Miles Winters behind him who fired a beautiful shot into the back of the net past the goalie, giving UConn a 2-0 lead!\u00a0 Once again the shots were even but, Holy Cross controlled most of the play.\u00a0 However, UConn had 2-0 lead going into the final period.<\/p>\n

The third period started off quickly with Jordan Sims firing the puck of the post, and it looked like a goal because it went in front of the net.\u00a0 The puck rebounded to the blueline and jumped over Tom Janoz\u2019s stick and a Crusader rushed up on the breakaway and hit the crossbar, which was a relief (a big one)!\u00a0 After that, Cole Schneider had a breakaway a few minutes later and the goalie fell down dragging the puck with him into the net, but for some reason the referees called the goal off (I still don\u2019t understand why it wasn\u2019t a goal).\u00a0 With less than three minutes left in the game, Holy Cross shot a puck off a stick and it went into the net, so I was very worried because Holy Cross could now come back.\u00a0 However, to my relief, the referees waved the goal off because it went off a high stick!\u00a0 With less than one minute left, UConn got a penalty and Holy Cross pulled their goalie and they got a 6-on-4.\u00a0 However, Cole Schneider started on a breakaway, and he fired it through the legs of a defender, to score and seal a 3-0 UConn victory (as my Dad and I leaped up from our seats victoriously)!<\/p>\n

During the game, UConn\u2019s goalie Garret Bartus, broke the UConn division one all-time saves record and the all-time single-season shutout record with his fourth.\u00a0 UConn swept the season series with Holy Cross with 4-2, 3-1, and 3-0 victories.\u00a0 I was so happy UConn won and it was an awesome game!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
