Black Bears overcome 2nd period power play goal by Angus Crookshank.
ORONO, Maine – Sophomore Angus Crookshank (North Vancouver, British Columbia) tallied a power play goal 9:11 into the second period, but the University of New Hampshire men's ice hockey team fell to the Maine Black Bears in overtime by a score of 2-1 on Saturday evening.
New Hampshire led halfway through the second period until the 19:09 mark in the third when Maine tied it up on a 6-on-4 opportunity with its goaltender pulled, and then netted the game-winner 2:11 into the extra frame.
NEXT HOME GAMES: The Wildcats will return to the Whitt when they host Michigan on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22-23 at 7 p.m. The second of the six-set trading card series will be given out at the Friday game, while the game on Saturday is presented by Tuscan Brands as a UNH scarf will be the giveaway. Individual game tickets with affordable options that start as low as $9 and a convenient six-ticket flexible miniplan can now be purchased for the season by calling the Whittemore Center Box Office at (603) 862-4000 or by visiting UNHWildcats.com.
NOVEMBER CHILL: Saturday, Nov. 23 will also be the "November Chill" from 4-6 p.m. at Carpenter Plaza at the Whittemore Center. Fans are invited to "chill" between football and hockey games and enjoy a full day with the 'Cats. You won't want to miss a minute of the action when UNH Football takes on CAA-rival Maine in a Saturday matinée. Then, later in the evening, the Wildcats will take to the ice against Michigan. That's reason enough to stay on campus, but the down-time can be spent at the family-friendly November Chill. Enjoy food, music and activities right outside the Whittemore Center.
