Hockey couldn’t hold its one goal lead in a Friday loss against Waldorf

DeKALB — The Huskies were unable to hold the lead Friday in a loss to Midwest College Hockey opponent Waldorf University.

After sophomore defenseman Zach Huggins’ power-play goal late in the first period, NIU couldn’t ride the momentum to get the victory. The Warriors would go on to score four unanswered goals and ultimately earn the win, 4-1.

“We had so many chances, but we couldn’t bury [the puck],” Huggins said. “It was tough. We were actually gelling pretty well but just couldn’t bury it [and] couldn’t find the net.”

The Huskies were able to stay out of the penalty box for the most part, taking four penalties.
