Jason Dexter and Glenn Stewart each scored two goals, and senior Chris
Jensen scored his first career goal, as New Hampshire rallied from a
3-2 deficit to defeat Northeastern 6-4 Saturday night.  Northeastern
was coming off a huge upset win over number one ranked Maine, while
UNH dropped a 5-2 decision to Providence Friday night.
 
UNH outplayed the Huskies in the first and third period, but got
sloppy in the second period and allowed all four Northeastern goals in
the middle stanza.  Stewart continued his hot goal-scoring streak with
two more scores, including the one that iced the game at 17:44 of the
third.  Also encouraging for the Wildcats was the play of Dexter, who
scored his first two goals of the season.  And Chris Jensen, a senior
defenseman who has been in and out of the lineup all season, got the
game-winner as his first career goal.
 
The three stars:  (1) Stewart, (2) Dexter, (3) Domenic Amodeo.
 
In other UNH news, as Mike M. reported last week, forward Kevin
Thomson suffered a hip pointer last weekend against BC.  He missed
both games this weekend, but may be able to return next weekend for
games against Lowell and Merrimack.  Also, Eric Flinton suffered some
kind of arm injury last night in the first period and did not return.
When I find out more I'll report it.
