Both were due to be examined yesterday (Monday 11/19) before any determination would be made as to their availablity for tonight's Harvard game. BU G John Bradley played both weekend games against Denver, making 18 saves in Friday's 12-0 win and 12 saves in Saturday's 9-2 win. Lowell's 4-3 win over NU Sunday snapped a 9-game winless streak in Hockey East regular season play, dating back to February 6th. It was also their first win in seven games against the Huskies, dating back to 11/18/88 at NU's Matthews Arena. (And before that, NU had lost something like 8 of 9 to Lowell.) Lowell goalie Dwayne Roloson was injured with a couple of minutes left in the Northeastern game with the score 4-3 and was taken to the hospital. No word on his condition. Mark Richards, generally perceived as Lowell's #1 netminder, stepped in and immediately had to make a big stop on Rob Cowie. Richards kept the door shut to earn the save in the Chiefs' win. Maine got 3 goals and an assist from junior Scott Pellerin in its tie and win against visiting Alaska-Anchorage. Merrimack has a 3-0 record this season in games played on Saturday night, outscoring the opponents by a 23-9 margin. The Warriors rebounded from Friday's 11-4 loss to Providence by pounding Kent State University, 10-2. Agostino Casale, who had scored four goals the night before, added two more and came inches from another hat trick. Merrimack's other eight goals were all scored by eight different players as 15 players had at least a point. Merrimack led 3-0 after the first period and 7-1 after two. Goalie Yannick Gosselin was given the start by Ron Anderson, apparently to boost his confidence after the rough period he had at Providence (6 goals). The Goose wasn't tested very much (22 saves), but Anderson's psychological strategy may have paid off for the remainder of the season. Goose is the Warriors' only hope for a solid first-string goalie right now. Pat Morrison made 61 saves in UNH's two losses this week to Merrimack (3-2) and Northeastern (2-1, ot). Providence's ten freshmen have accounted for 8 goals and 18 assists, 26 of the Friars' 104 points (25.0%). STAY TUNED ...for more scores and updated standings tomorrow after the four games tonight. Thanksgiving weekend, this report goes on the road to Bowling Green and Kent, Ohio for Western Michigan-Bowling Green on Friday night and Merrimack-Kent on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Not to mention having my VCR record Harvard-BC Friday night for later viewing... - mike p.s. thanks to Kathy Walsh for much of the information in this posting.
