NU 8, UVM 3: Huskies breathe sigh of relief in road romp

January 28th, 2012

BURLINGTON, VT. — It was as much of a victory as it was a sigh of relief for a Huskies team that needed something positive to happen to them. Playing against the league’s last-place Vermont Catamounts, the Huskies scored their second-highest number of goals in a game since a blowout 9-2 win at Notre Dame in December. In the process, Cody Ferriero scored the first Husky hat trick in over three seasons, Northeastern scored three power play goals, chased Vermont goalie Rob Madore, and most importantly, snapped a four-game losing streak.
