<\/a>Harris Goal<\/p><\/div>\n
In a series where at least one win was necessary, the Huskies split a series with the Holy Cross Crusaders.\u00a0 In game one, the Huskies defense was very good as usual, but their offense struggled.\u00a0 Holy Cross scored late in the first to take a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.\u00a0 In the second, the Huskies almost tied the game when Jacob Poe backhanded a rebound through the Holy Cross goaltender’s legs, but it hit the post, not the net.\u00a0 Holy Cross, however, would score again to take a 2-0 lead into to he third.\u00a0 Only 40 seconds into the third, UConn got on the board, making it 2-1.\u00a0 Tyler Cooke forced a turnover at center ice, a passed to Trevor Gerling, who then passed to Brant Harris on a slight breakaway, who then shot the puck top shelf, his 11th of the season.\u00a0 UConn had some more close chances, but couldn’t tie it, and the Crusaders added an empty-netter for the 3-1 win.\u00a0 Grogan stopped 31 shots in the loss.<\/p>\n
The next night, UConn finished the series at Holy Cross.\u00a0 The Huskies scored only 7:44 in when Trevor Gerling shot the puck on a breakaway, but just caught the edge of Ginn’s pad, but Cody Sharib cleaned up the rebound for a 1-0 lead.\u00a0 The Huskies then made it 2-0, when Jordan Sims snapped a shot on Ginn that was blocked, but Ferris shot the rebound home.\u00a0 Sims got the assist for his 100th point of his career.\u00a0 They had 18 shots at the end of the first, compared to 21 total shots the previous night.\u00a0 The Huskies then made it 3-0 45 seconds in to the second on the power-play; Latta passed the puck to Jacob Poe who blasted home a slap-shot.\u00a0 The Huskies continued the offense when Brent Norris snapped home a rebound for a 4-0 lead after two periods.\u00a0 In the third, UConn finished their scoring when Joey Ferris tipped home a Kyle Huson shot for a 5-0 win.\u00a0 Robby Nichols stopped 38 shots for his second shutout of the season and of his young career.<\/p>\n
Despite a tough-luck loss on Friday, the Huskies proved it was just bad luck when they won 5-0.\u00a0 Thanks to the win, UConn stayed in a tie with Air Force for third, and stayed one point ahead of Robert Morris.\u00a0 In a race for the top four spots, there are five teams, so one team will not make it into the top four and I hope that that team isn’t UConn.\u00a0 I hope UConn sweeps Army next weekend to gain some breathing-room in the standings, and I hope they stay in the top four so they can get a bye of the first round!<\/p>\n
