Just a couple of thoughts to add... In my mind, there has been one predominant theme to Maine's season thus far--the Black Bears play to the level of their opponents. When they are playing a big game against a good team, they really step it up a level. Hopefully, this will work in our favor this weekend as the UNH series is huge--a series against our top rival, top in our conference, and a serious NCAA Championship contender. The one thing that worries me about the series is the explosiveness of the UNH team. I watched their game on FSNE this weekend and was very impressed. Solid, disciplined defense is an absolute must in order to take some points away from the Wildcats this weekend. Either way, I'm looking forward to a great weekend series and a week with no voice afterwards!! ~Alexis '98 -- A Portal as Big as Texas!
