Huskies battle back to secure the win

In the first home game of the season, the Huskies came from a 0-2 deficit to beat the Brewster Bobcats 8-3. Brewster jumped to their early lead less than 4 minutes into the game. The Huskies settled in after that and held Brewster to just the 2 goals to end the first period. Two minutes into the second period sophomore Helen Xu '28 netted her first of the game to cut the lead in half.  Xu followed up less than a minute later to tie the game at 2 as the game reached the halfway mark and the teams headed into the locker room for the ice resurfacing break.  Both teams emerged ready to battle for the second half.  Senior captain Callie Paquette '26 gave the Huskies their first lead of the game just 20 seconds into play. Not to be silenced too quickly, Brewster responded a few minutes later and the game was tied 3-3 with 4:00 left in the second period. Quickly taking control of the pace of play, Xu netted her 3rd and 4th goals of the game to send the Huskies into the 3rd period with a 5-3 lead.  Paquette added her second tally of the game with 6:26 to go, followed again by Xu with her 5th goal. To round out the scoring, senior captain Estelle Jennings '26 drilled home an amazing one timer off a pass from Xu to put the Huskies ahead 8-3.  Junior goal tender Sarah Pollard '27 played an incredible game, and earning her "Husky of the Game" for stopping more than 50 shots on the day, many of them breakaways from some speedy Brewster forwards who had snuck around the Husky defense.  Aside from the many goals the Huskies managed, several team members, including senior captain Jocelyn Smith '26, senior Molly Marshall '26, and 9th grader Chloe Sabin '29 should be recognized for their hard work in both the offensive and defensive zones creating plays and chances and showing great team work on the ice.
