PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The Plymouth State men’s club hockey team to the UNH club team 4-2 on Sunday night. It was a close and gritty game from start to finish, headlined by eleven penalties for the Panthers.
PSU got on top 1-0 on an early goal, but would head into the first intermission with a man in the box. With a man advantage to start the second period, UNH tied the game just 10 seconds into the frame. The two teams would again exchange goals, heading into the third period tied up at two goals each.
UNH would score two quick goals in the period, finding themselves up 4-2, trying to hold off a feisty a PSU squad. Plymouth thought they had a third goal, but a discussion by the officials eventually resulted in the goal being waved off, and the Panthers would not get any closer.
Despite the loss, the team played well for having such limited practice time, first year player Wyatt French explained: “We played well together for only having one practice.” He continued: “I think with more practice time, we’ll be right where we want to be.”
