Coming off a weekend where offensive struggles and defensive woes were at a maximum resulting in a combined 11-2 series score against Penn State, the Sun Devils needed to make a statement on Friday and Saturday.
Traveling to Worcester, Mass. to take on a solid Holy Cross team (5-4-6), it would be a big test for struggling Arizona State (3-8-3).
Game One
The opening game of the series got off to a bit of a slow start for both teams as neither squad found the back of the net in the first 20 minutes of play.
