Tuesday evening at Matthews Arena, in a non-league game, the University of 
New Hampshire Wildcats hustled their way past the Northeastern Huskies 0-3. 
The renovated Matthews features a large ice surface (90x200), high glass 
around the boards and plenty of room behind the net.  The match itself 
was extremely dull.

UNH started the game aggressively and checked their way into the NU 
zone.  The Huskies were tentative and all night lacked their skating 
legs.  Brandy Fisher (Doris Catlin, Annie Camins) opened the scoring for 
the Wilcats when she knocked home the third rebound from a scramble in 
front of the net.  UNH had pressed and Northeastern's defense had 
collapsed back on their net.  Carisa Zaban pulled off a thrilling solo 
rush during a 4 on 4 situation that made the score 0-2.  That was the 
highlight of the game.  Zaban, the current ECAC Rookie of the week, took 
the puck in her own end, hit the jets up ice and then deked the goalie 
before stuffing the puck in.  Excellent goal.  There was no scoring in 
the second period.  The pace of the game had picked up, but goalies and 
defenders withstood the challenge.  In the final period, after much 
Wildcat hustle and some attacking ideas from NU, Fisher (Camins, Catlin) 
finished the scoring when she sent another rebound high into the net.  
Both teams had been pressing.  Clearly UNH was in control of the match 
from start to finish.

UNH has a huge squad of players.  They do a great job of fore-checking.  
The Wildcats played with much energy, but I was left wishing for 
something resembling an attack.  Hustle hockey and opportunism can win 
some games, but it's certainly not interesting to watch.  The women of 
the match for UNH were Fisher, Catlin and Camins.  The first line plays 
very well together.  They skate good and find each other with passes.  
Zaban and Tricia Dunn also demonstrated some nice 1-2's.  Dunn might be 
UNH's strongest skater.  In goal, Dina Solimini looked very confident.  
She looked very strong and unlikely to give up any easy goals.  Defender 
Lisa Widdecke read the play well and prevented any serious Huskie 
attacks.  Heather Reinke had a super night on the blue line.  She played 
a smart, heads-up game.  Reinke made some of the best touch passes on the 
night.  Overall UNH looked strong.  

Northeastern had too many of its players not show up.  Their skating was 
disappointing.  The Huskies let UNH dictate the flow, or lack of it, in 
the game.  The woman of the match for NU was defender Bree Cheatham.  Her 
skating is terrific.  Cheatham's skills are first-class stuff.  Why she 
is not on TUSAW I can not understand.  Her only problem last night was 
trying to do too much.  Cheatham tried to get her team going, but somehow 
her passes, rushing and support all over the ice didn't get her mates 
moving.  First-year defender Jaime Totten looked real good.  Her vision, 
skating and puck movement were great.  First-year goalie Shannon Meyers 
at times looked good, but being a flopper scares me.  Jessica Wagner and 
Danyel Howard were the two forwards who had fair skating games.  Overall 
it was not a good showing by the Huskies.  Northeastern has some 
interesting offensive ideas, but without the zip, all is lost.
