UConn men’s hockey earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Vermont Catamounts on Friday night, improving to 6-6-3 on the season season.
While it wasn’t a performance to write home about, UConn still earned an important two points in Hockey East play despite not having their A-game. While the Huskies took a 1-0 just two minutes in, they dug themselves into a hole with six penalties in the first period. Head coach Mike Cavanaugh thought the Catamounts used their physicality to throw UConn off early on.
“It’s never easy to win in this league. I thought Vermont played a really hard game and forced us out of our game especially in the first period,” Cavanaugh said.
