LOWELL, MASS. — The score line told the story. Northeastern played a relatively even first period, but UMass-Lowell’s relentless forecheck and sparkling goaltending from Doug Carr overwhelmed a shaken Northeastern Huskies team, as the Riverhawks claimed a 4-0 win at the Tsongas Center on Friday night. It was the first time the Huskies had suffered a shutout loss this season, and marked the Huskies’ 3rd consecutive defeat, putting NU in a dangerous position in the race for the playoffs. Lowell’s top freshman (and lone NHL draft pick) Scott Wilson scored two goals en route to the victory, Lowell’s 13th.

We started out this week’s show with a discussion of the men’s basketball team’s two wins over William & Mary and Georgia State, which put them into a 4-way tie for 3rd place in the CAA heading into a challenging road trip with games at Drexel and Old Dominion. Jared Shafran also called in to discuss the men’s hockey team after losses to Boston University and Boston College (at Frozen Fenway), and the upcoming contests with UMass-Lowell.

In the time since the end of our show, when we talked about the lack of an announcement on Beanpot ticket sales, we have received more information. The first 1,000 students who arrive at the women’s hockey game on Saturday (January 21) will receive a voucher that guarantees access to Beanpot tickets. Of those, the first 300 will be able to make their purchase at the women’s game, beginning after the 2nd period. The remaining 700 can buy their tickets on Sunday morning at 9:00 am. Northeastern athletics asks students to use the zamboni entrance of the arena, and requests that students do not arrive before 7:00 am.
This week, we recap Northeastern’s tough losses against rivals and on the big stage of Fenway Park, assess whether Lowell really has “slipped” or if that’s just a perception, and preview the weekend’s solid slate of league games.
