Game of inches: After a Kristie Kehoe goal earlier in the period, frosh Casey Pickett had her shorthanded bid turned aside by a toe save.

Lots 'O Jump: The Huskies had a 10-4 shot advantage after one period, and then gave up 16 shots before they had their first with 4:32 left in the second. Penalty trouble and a relentless attack by Bemidji were the culprits. Flo Schelling made many incredible saves, including several on screens and tips.

BermanGameWinningGoalvsBemidji.jpg

Right Place, Right Time: Starting with a collision and turnover by Bemidji in the Huskies' end, Lindsay Berman came up with her second straight game winner with just over two minutes left in the game. Kristie Kehoe initiated the attack and fed Brittany Esposito with a behind the back pass on the right wing. Esposito then fired a shot that trickled through the Beavers' netminder. Before she could fall on the puck, Berman reached across the crease and pushed the puck over the goal line.

Thanks for starting the thread Hux! :)

3-2 win today for NU. After going o-for on the powerplay in 6 chances, the Huskies took advantage of 2 3rd period pps to score. Leah Sulyma saw her first game action since last February and made 32 saves for the win.

NU is now 5-1-1 and I'm not complaining.

The Difference: Diminutive Annie Hogan came up big for the Huskies, scoring the third goal that proved to be the winner in Saturday's match with Bemidji.

Hux, Great stop action on this shot! What's your outfit and what settings do you use? (sorry to take the thread off topic).

Oh, and congrats to Leah!! (there, back on topic!)

Thanks.

The lighting at Matthews isn't too bad, but not great. In this shot the shutter speed is actually a little slower than I like at 500th of a second, which is why the stick is blurred.

I didn't want to push the ISO too high, which is at 1000, as it greatly increases the "grain" via electronic noise. There is a lot of electronic noise in this pic, as I haven't gotten around to learning how to decrease it using a noise reduction program.

I used an F stop of 3.2 for all of the shots at Matthews, for a little boost in depth of field. I could have used 2.8 and set the ISO at 800 for less noise, but it seems (and it might actually not be all that drastically different) to me the action is captured better with more depth of field.

The camera is a Canon 40D with a 70-200mm 2.8 L series zoom.

Very cool pic. She seems to have a Mona Lisa like smile as she's shooting.

Excellent weekend sweep of Vermont!! I'm so excited by this start. I wouldn't be surprised if Brittany Esposito and Flo got HEA weekly awards on Monday.

Onto Providence!!

I've had the good fortune of watching Espo play over the last 7 or 8 years. Great hockey mind (name) that can skate and snipe. She will wallpaper a number of award pages over the next 4 years. She's just getting started.

I have to agree that Esposito looked very good, and made a nice play for the gamewinner late. It kills me, though, that UVM keeps using a forward at the point on their PP. When it breaks down, she's a liability defensively, and it burned them big time today.

As the sole Catamount voice here, I will eat some humble pie tonight. NU earned the two W's, and unfortunately, at no time did I see UVM look even close to solving Schelling.

Its not that uncommon to move a forward to the point on the PP. Lots of teams due it.

Yes, they do. And when the smart ones do it, it's usually a strong forward with a powerful shot. In this case, it's a "smaller" forward with no hard shot to speak of, and very little defensive ability when the puck is turned over. It's come back to bite them a few times already.

And not to pick on this forward. She has good hands, and in my opinion would help much more down low where she would be an asset in tight spaces. UVM has some good D with hard (and accurate shots), who also know what to do when the puck goes the other way.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2009-10

With Cornell's win over Harvard, perhaps we might see NU and Princeton duking it out for the #10 spot on Monday. Not that it matters at this point in the season, just curious to see how it plays out. Also I noticed in the box score that Kelly Wallace was in the lineup for the first time yesterday.
