...most artful goal of the night belonged to Northeastern's Stephanie Acres. The freshman, who assissted on the go-ahead score, avoided a check by sophomore Jen Gerometta and netted a beautiful wrap-around goal with under five minutes to play in the first period that gave the Huskies a 3-1 lead heading into the first intermission...
...video should also give the singer a boost.

But the series, focused on a pair of new young lovers, quickly managed to ground itself more firmly in the rhythms of a real relationship. Poignant but not overwrought, Relativity has become one of TV's finest hours...
