Roosevelt Recap
It was a true defensive game between both teams, with their being just six total shots on goal through 90 minutes. SCSU's two shots on net were both in the 2nd half, coming from Drew Macoritti just inside the box to the left of the Laker keeper who came up with the save. Finn Mankowski registered the other shot on goal for the Huskies, firing a last second heave towards the net before the Laker keeper made the jumping save to keep the ball from sneaking into the top right corner. Erik Willke had his best game of the season earning his first collegiate shutout and tallying four saves.
Northern Michigan Recap
The Huskies came out of the gates handling most of the possession but did not get many good looks at the net. Towards the end of the first half in the 37th minute, Northern Michigan put themselves on the board and led 1-0 entering halftime. The second half was all Northern Michigan, as they scored three goals to carry their four-goal advantage to victory. Huskies were outshot 14-4 (8-2 SOG) and failed to convert any goals in the loss. The Huskies will hit the road for two games before their next home game on October 9th.
