MH: Norwich slips past Panthers

NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Freshman Kalle Andersson (Taby, Sweden) matched his career-high with 33 saves, but for the second straight day Plymouth State University fell to Norwich University, 2-0, in a non-conference men's ice hockey game at Kreitzberg Arena on Sunday afternoon.
 
The teams played scoreless hockey for more than two periods before Norwich was able to break through. PSU had a shot nick the post minutes later before the Cadets added an insurance marker with 3:15 left to play.
 
With the setback Plymouth State dips to 2-4-0, while the Cadets improve to 5-0-0.
 
The Basics:
  • Plymouth State 0, Norwich 2
    • Plymouth State (2-4-0)
    • Norwich (5-0-0)
Three Stars:
  • Plymouth State
  • Norwich
    • Michael Green (game-winning goal)
    • Drennen Atherton (30 saves)
How it Happened:
  • PSU had a great opportunity in the opening period when the Panthers went on an extended power play following a major penalty. Plymouth State fired five shots but were unable to find the back of the net.
  • After more than 46 minutes of scoreless action the Cadets broke the ice 6:29 into the third period. Plymouth State had just killed off a penalty, but Norwich took the lead before the skater could get back in the play when a cross-ice pass found an open Cadet on the weakside for a one-timer.
  • PSU nearly tied the game minutes later but senior Brandon Barillaro's (Alexandria, Ontario) rebound attempt from his knees hit the far post and sophomore Myles Abbate's (Norwell, Mass.) follow up drive at the empty net was blocked.
  • Norwich got some breathing room with a power play goal with 3:15 left in the contest and the Panthers were unable to rally.
By the Numbers:
  • Andersson equaled his career high with 33 saves – the exact total from last night's contest.
  • Norwich held a 35-30 edge in shots on goal, while PSU blocked 16 shot attempts.
  • The Panthers were 0-of-2 on the power play, while Norwich scored once in five tries.
  • The two teams nearly split 67 faceoffs. PSU won 33, while Norwich controlled 34.
Up Next:
  • Plymouth State wraps up the shortened season with a final series against Anna Maria this week. The AMCATS come to town on Thursday (Mar. 18) for a 5:00 p.m. contest, before PSU heads to Massachusetts on Saturday (Mar. 20) at 5:40 p.m.
