Game #1 Report – Friday Nov. 9th:
Huskies 10, WSU 3
The Huskies were given an instant power
play for the first two minutes of the game for WSU’s delay of game. The
Cougars failed to have a backup goaltender ready and on the bench for the
start of the game. WSU killed the penalty and the two teams bantered back
and forth for the first five minutes of the game. At 13:01 Shaun Lawrence
picked up a loose puck from neutral zone face off and popped the puck into
WSU’s zone. Matt Carlson zipped in and picked the puck up and shot it over
the WSU’s goalies’ glove hand. It was Carlson’s first goal of three for
the weekend 2-game series. The Huskies scored again, this time on a power
play, when Brian Smith set up defensive partner, Sean O’Brien, who scored
in lower right corner. Then at 6:07, Charlie Walters came out of the WSU’s
corner, passed it to Sean O’Brien on the point, whose one-time slap shot
was tipped in by Brian Mead. Then at 5:51 Sean O’Brien stepped out of the
corner with two spin moves and passed it to Charlie Walters who scored
while wide open. And, the final goal in the first period for the Huskies
was at 4:49 when Brett Lawrence jammed the puck in the 5-hole from a pass
from Eric Sato. The first period ended with the Huskies leading 5-0. The
