F. Aube 21 (Kelly) 14:08 (puck bounced back between players at center ice, Kelly popped free to Aube as he crossed the blue line at the left, he came in alone and beat Lindsay high to right) UML Botto (hit after whistle) 15:28 NU Kelly (hit after whistle) 15:28 NU Aube (holding) 16:56 NU McGillis (hit after whistle) 18:05 UML Ed Campbell (slashing) 18:05 UML3 Shannon Basaraba 7 (Mayes, Sbrocca) PPG 18:26 (didn't see this one) UML Sbrocca (holding of stick) 18:48 THIRD PERIOD ------------------- UML4 Greg Bullock 25 (unassisted) 6:21 (Bullock carried puck into zone on left with a 3-on-2 in progress, decoyed pass, drew Veisor away from post, tucked behind him short side.) UML Sbrocca (boarding) 7:44 NU Collett (high-sticking) 8:57 UML Daw (hooking) 11:53 NU Collett (high-sticking) 16:36 UML5 David Dartsch 9 (Campbell, Bullock) PPG 18:22 (Bullock pass from behind net, Campbell fans weakly, Dartsch fights for position in front of net, as he is being taken down reaches out and sweeps puck past goalie's left, low) UML Kriss (slashing) 19:41 NU MacNair (slashing) 19:41 NU MacNair (hit after whistle) 19:41 Goalies UML - Craig Lindsay NU - Mike Veisor Shots on goal as I heard them at the end of the 2nd period: UML 14 15 (29 total) - probably led third period as well NU 8 10 (18 total) Referees - Fitzgerald, Cole Linesman - John Jones Attendance - my estimate maybe 1500?? Or less?? HOCKEY-L was again well represented. A tough, close, hard playoff game that Lowell gradually took control of, this was a very entertaining game. Lowell had numerous breakaways and other chances that could have blown this game wide open if Veisor had not been strong in the Northeastern net. Lowell carried most of the play in the last half of the game, but NU had their chances too. So far no HE favorite has won a playoff game. Look out BU and Maine! --------------- ---------------------- Rick McAdoo [log in to unmask] BC will return! GO EAGLES!
