UML hockey notebook: River Hawks, UMass set to clash 3 times in 7 days

LOWELL — As Hockey East rivalries go, the Hatfields vs. the McCoys comes to mind. And by next Saturday night, don’t expect a lot of hugs to be exchanged between UMass Lowell and UMass players…

Big game tomorrow, they need to find a way to pick up some point. Officially in last place after tonight's games.

Starting to look like the days where I used to sit were the band plays now sad reminder

Another heart-breaker. I agree with what Norm said last week. It's not for a lack of effort as much as it is a lack of awareness and experience on some key plays. As much as I want to say you also need a couple more saves from Elliott, three of those goals don't even become opportunities if the team in front of him isn't asleep at the wheel. Especially the first two. Also, 99% of the time it's probably not a winning strategy to just let Jack Musa do whatever he wants for 60 minutes. On to Friday.

I'll say what I said the other week, they're still playing. They just aren't good enough.

I will say for most of the game Lowell was the better team except for goaltending

Highlights.

First time since January of 1988 that they scored 4 goals or more in back to back home games and lost both.

On the positive side, Josh Mori was the first freshman defenseman with 2 goals in a home game since Mike Nicolishen on February 10, 1995 against BU at Tully Forum.

I didnt watch the game thoroughly as I was coaching my own basketball game, but when the other team scores recently, it just seems floodgates seem to open. The team loses focus and another goal happens almost immediately after. happened against maine 2x last week in one game. Im hoping Elliott stays with the team at the end of this year. But if this continues, I wouldnt be surprised to see him in the portal...
