STORRS, Conn. – UConn dropped the opening game of its two-game series against No. 19 Northeastern, 4-1, Friday evening. Joey Muldowney scored the lone goal for the Huskies.
The opening period was a battle, with special teams making the difference. Northeastern jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, scoring both goals on the power play following UConn penalties. The Huskies outshot the visitors in the first period but were unable to find the back of the net, entering the first intermission trailing by two.
Northeastern controlled the second period, adding two more goals to extend its lead to 4-0. UConn had an opportunity to cut the deficit in half midway through the period when Carter Sproule was awarded a penalty shot after being slashed on a breakaway. However, Sproule was unable to convert as Northeastern maintained its four-goal lead heading into the second intermission.
The Huskies came out strong in the third period, but Northeastern's defense and goaltender Lawton Zacher continued to hold off the UConn attack. Late in the period, Muldowney got the Huskies on the board, ripping a one-timer past Zacher on the power play to make it 4-1. UConn was unable to find the back of the net again as Northeastern secured the 4-1 victory.
The Huskies will wrap up the weekend series Saturday, Nov. 14, in Hartford. Puck drop is scheduled for 3 p.m.
