Pauly’s (No. 8) First Career Goal<\/p><\/div>\n

On December 4th and 5th, 2013, UConn hosted Penn State, for their first ever meeting.\u00a0 It was also Penn State’s first year in Division I.\u00a0 In the first game, Matt Grogan was UConn’s starting goaltender.\u00a0 Only 28 seconds into the two team’s first meeting, Jordan Sims recorded his fourth of the year, from a pass from Sean Ambroisie from behind the net.\u00a0 Just over 5:30 later, Penn State tied the game, with a power-play goal that was tipped in off a slap-shot.\u00a0 Over two minutes into the second, Penn State had a shot bounce off a UConn defensemen and into the net.\u00a0 Brant Harris shot the puck by the boards and off the goalie and in the net to tie the game.\u00a0 Just over one minute later, Shawn Pauly, bombed home a juicy rebound off an Evan Carrie shot to give UConn a 3-2 lead.\u00a0 With six minutes remaining in the period, Penn State scored to tie it up at 3-3, to end the second period, with Penn State leading 27-17 in shots.\u00a0 In the third, only six minutes in, Patrick Kirtland, came around the side of the net, and fired a shot over the glove of the Penn State netminder, into the top right corner to give UConn the lead, with his second goal of the year.\u00a0 Matt Grogan made some more saves, as UConn held on for the 4-3 victory.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, UConn looked for the sweep of Penn State.\u00a0 Since I couldn’t go to the game, I watched the game online.\u00a0 Only 13 seconds into the game, Penn State scored .\u00a0 The Nittnay Lions won the center ice faceoff, passed the puck into the zone along the boards, and the reciever backhanded the puck to the player who shot the puck past Garrett Bartus for a 2-on-1 goal.\u00a0 But just over a minute later, UConn tied the game on Shawn Pauly’s second goal in as many games and of his career.\u00a0 Pauly skated up the side on a 1-on-1, and passed to a Husky, whose shot went right passed a UConn stick, but went right to Pauly’s who put it home to tie the game.\u00a0 Later in the period, UConn went on the power-play.\u00a0 When Penn State tried to clear the zone, a Husky stopped the puck at the blue line, and passed to Ambrosie, who walked in all alone on the goalie, and scored on a backhand try, to make it 2-1 at the end of one.\u00a0 In the second about half way through, Tom Janoz sent a pass behind the net to Ambrosie, who spun a shot on the PSU netminder, that bounced to the other side to Sharib, who backhanded a shot into the top of the net, to give UConn a 3-1 lead, going into the third period.\u00a0 In the Third period, Penn State started fighting back, but couldn’t find the back of the net on Bartus, but they did hit the post a few times.\u00a0 Later in the game, Penn State pulled the goalie, and UConn flicked the puck out of the zone to Evan Carrie, who skated on the wide open net, and hit the crossbar!\u00a0 The puck bounced into the corner, and Carrie recovered to pass the puck to Trevor Gerling, who put it home to seal UConn’s 4-1 sweep of Penn State.\u00a0 UConn improved to 7-8-2 on the season, and Bartus was named AHA goalie of the week, and Shawn Pauly was named AHA rookie of the week.\u00a0 UConn did great against Penn State!<\/p>\n
