Lowell had leads of 2-0 and 3-2 before ending up with a tie at Brown last night. This game was pretty unremarkable - it looked to me that both teams had the "this is the last non-conference game of the year before we hit the home-stretch, let's coast through this one" attitude. This attitude may have been a bit more prevelant among the Lowell team as they lookked VERY sloppy at times. I was a little dissapointed in the lackadaisicalness (is that a word?), because, in my mind, it was an important game for both teams. Even still, the tie is somewhat satisfactory in that I thought that Brown would come out trying to avenge their 10-1 loss to Lowell last year. The goalie who started for Brown last night's name escapes me at the moment, but it was his first collegiate start. Scott Fankhouser played for Lowell. Both goalies looked stellar at times and awful at others. The one thing that both goalies had in common was that they both were consistently giving up easy rebounds. (Although no body seemed to be able to convert these). Brown missed a couple of VERY open nets off of soft rebounds but just couldn't convert. The crowd was rather lame, I was told that Brown was still on break so that (coupled with the weeknite game) may have had something to do with it. And I'll be the first to admit, Lowell's not exactly the visiting team that packs 'em in! But I'd like to think that the first place team in the ECAC draws at least an above-averae crowd!! If I get a chance, I'll post the Box later. - Steve ************************************************************************** Steve Weisfeldt Univ. of Lowell 1986, 1988 Home of the 'Hawks!!
