Holy Cross plays a home and home this weekend against Brown, Friday in Providence and Saturday at HC. Brown's first action of the season, although they were 2-27 last season. I expect close games similar to RIT and RPI. I also expect our first win of the season! (Interestingly we did not face the Bears last season)
From our website:
Holy Cross’ First Home-and-Home of the Season
• The Holy Cross women’s ice hockey team is set to take on Brown
University this Friday, Oct. 19 at 6:00 p.m. in Providence and Saturday,
Oct. 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Crusaders’ first home game of the season.
Recapping Last Weekend
• The Crusaders opened Hockey East play last weekend with a pair of
games at Providence and UConn.
• The Friars handed Holy Cross a 5-0 loss, but freshman goalie Jada
Brenon made 49 saves in the contest.
• On Saturday, the Crusaders took a 1-0 lead against the Huskies
thanks to senior Amanda Kewer’s second goal of the year. Freshman
Summer Ross recorded her first collegiate point with an assist on the
play.
• UConn would eventually win the game, 7-2, but the Crusaders put
up a good fight. They responded after a 3-0 run by the Huskies with a
goal to make it 4-2 half way through the second. Senior Julie Matthias
was responsible for the tally and junior Rachel Moore recorded the
assist, for her first point as a Crusader.
Scouting the Bears
• These will be Brown’s first games of the 2018-19 season.
• The Bear’s top returning scorer from last season is junior Sena Hanson,
who had eight goals and seven assists for 15 points as a sophomore.
• Kaitijane Blumberg had a solid freshman season for Brown last year
with six goals ans six assists for 12 points.
• Junior Calla Isaac saw the majority of the time between the pipes for
the Bears last year. As a sophomore she posted a 4.01 goals against
average and a .899 save percentage.
Unfamiliar Faces
• This will be the first ever meeting between Holy Cross and Brown.
Recapping the 2017-18 Season
• Last year, the Crusaders went 16-9-3 and with a 4-3 overtime loss to
Franklin Pierce in the NEWHA Tournament.
• Holy Cross averaged 4.1 goals per game, while allowing only 1.8.
•The Crusaders had a conversion rate of 30% on the
power play and kept their opponents to a rate of 9.9%.
•The squad was balanced throughout all three periods of play, scoring
39 goals in the first and second periods and 36 in the third.
