...good one. The Big Green’s season-opening skid began with a 6-2 loss at Harvard’s Bright Hockey Center and continued with a 3-0 shutout at Princeton, a 7-5 barnburner at Quinnipiac and a 3-2 home-opening defeat at the hands of Colgate.

...momentum built up at the beginning of the six-pack, the Crimson faced a superior UNH squad at Bright on Saturday.
