BC 2, NU 1: Eagles complete season series sweep

January 15th, 2012

BOSTON – For the bulk of Saturday’s game at Fenway Park, it was a one goal affair. But at every turn, each time the Huskies tried to come back into the game, an untimely penalty, a bad bounce, seemed to doom their effort. It was yet another 1-goal game against Boston College, the seventh game in a row the Huskies and Eagles have decided their game by a goal or less. But in the end, the 1-goal result was one that has become familiar against the Eagles: a loss.

BU 4, NU 3: Huskies unravel in penalty-filled night

January 15th, 2012

BOSTON – For 20 minutes, it looked to be an instant classic for the Northeastern Huskies. A frantic up-and-down first period against the #6-ranked Boston University Terriers was punctuated by two goals in quick succession. The first came from Alex Tuckerman at 18:38 into the period on a rebound from a Justin Daniels shot, folllowed less than a minute later by a wrister in the top right corner by Ludwig Karlsson (at 19:33). Northeastern entered the locker room suddenly up by two goals. But the problems that plagued the Huskies in their 1-7-2 start to the season crept to the surface quickly. Defensive gaffes, and mental mistakes (including a major penalty on defenseman Josh Manson) allowed the highly talented and potent Terriers offense to take advantage. BU potted three goals in less than four minutes, sucking the life out of Matthews Arena and in the process suffocating Northeastern’s ill-fated attempts to climb back into the game.
