A Battle on the Road

The Women's JV hockey team traveled to KUA and skated hard but fell to the Wildcats 3-11.  After a quick opening goal from the opponents, Eva Thirion '24 found the back of the net to even the score 1-1. Callie Paquette '26 quickly followed putting the Huskies up 2-1. KUA managed to tie the game again right at the end of the first period. The huskies skated hard throughout the second period and had several chances to score, including a breakaway chance from Bri Hendin '25 that just missed the net.  The second period also saw some strong defensive play from Moriah Smith '24, Izzy Church '25 and Roberta Scott '27 who all teamed up to hold the blue line and keep giving the Huskies offensive chances.  KUA managed 3 goals in the second, and the Huskies entered the third period down by 3, 2-5. The team goal for the third period was to skate hard, which they did, and "win the period."  KUA came out firing in the third and added 5 goals pretty quickly, putting the Huskies down 2-10.  The team never stopped skating, though, and Callie Paquette '26 netted her second goal of the game near the end of the third period.  KUA added one finally tally with a minute to go, making the final 3-11.  Sarah Pollard '27 was strong in net and made some great saves on the day, preventing several breakaway attempts and more than one picturesque glove save! Congrats to Bri Hendin '25 for earning Husky of the Game for her solid positioning, positive attitude and near goal on an amazing breakaway attempt!
