The HC women's hockey team is playing #5 Northeastern at the Hart Center.
After spotting Northeastern a 2-0 lead, the Crusaders scored two goals and the game was tied 2-2 at the end of the second period.
Early in the third period, HC has scored two more goals and took a 4-2 lead. Northeastern got a goal, and then HC scored another. Now leading 5-3 with less than 10 minutes to go.

Historic win for the program. The win is even more impressive considering NU was ranked #5 and undefeated in Hockey East. Kudos to Coach VB for keeping the squad focused and improving.

Agree with all. They’ve exceeded my expectations in their first year in HE based on the play so far.

Totally classy. I am impressed. No excuses made and gracious in what had to be an unexpected loss. Of course, they will likely win a lot more games this year.

Very impressed with Northeastern's response. I think they will be psyched for the rematch.

For many recent years the Women's Hockey Team, with it's consistent winning record, was a lonely lantern in the Spire. They competed fairly against other small New England schools with similar restrictions and without scholarships. The program succeeded on a level skating surface then with good coaching and positive recruiting. This victory is a sign they are working hard to compete on a level skating surface in Division One also. HC Women's Hockey is now competing at the top level of their sport. Hockey East is not a Division 1-AA or Mid-Major equivalent. Congratulations.

Well put, long-suffering. The players comments in the post-game interviews were great to hear. This is a group of athletes who had a realistic view of what this step up would mean and they seem eager to meet that challenge! Congratulations again to them.

Fabulous in every single way
I have some inside Hockey East info.
Their biggest concern is our not being able to be competitive in HE. I was told "we don't want a second Merrimack." They want us to show we can be good.
Remarkably, the win helps both teams.

Like it or not, they are the only program at HC that competes in a top tier D1 conference. Worcester would like more teams at HC to be at this level! Soon!

I was going to quote Winston Churchill and say our Men's Hockey Team's performance is "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." But perhaps it isn't that mysterious. Holy Cross must have one of the smallest student to varsity sport ratio in all of Division One. B.U. has dropped both football and baseball to emphasize hockey. HC admirably continues to support all three programs. So, there are challenges at HC, but we should be able to compete better than this in Atlantic Hockey.

I guess but, if there is a decision pending and it’s going to be based on whether someone thinks our men’s team can compete in Hockey East, I think we’re screwed based on where the men’s team is at the moment. |
