After a 2-1 loss to Quinnipiac last night, Greg Carvel made it clear that a lack of desperation was to blame. Here’s my column on how Quinnipiac showed the urgency Carvel has been looking for the past few weeks

Big thanks to @yaajeed for taking the time to talk with me about UMass’ opponent this weekend, Georgia Southern. I think there’s a lot of good stuff in here.

No one could have seen this coming — an abrupt ending to the season and months of hard work erased in the blink of an eye. After bumming around the last few days without playoff hockey, I tried to capture the 2019-20 campaign as best as I could:

With MDG setting up another goal on the power play there I'll just drop my story from last night about the value he brings to UMass' lineup.

In his return from injury, Marc Del Gaizo proved vital to the Minutemen in their win over Merrimack.

While UMass' 3-2 OT win over No. 1 BC may appear to be a statement, Greg Carvel would argue it simply showed what his team is capable of. @noah_bortle tells why he thinks Friday night's win showed the Minutemen belong among the nation's best.

UMass lost a defenseman in the second period. The five defensemen they had left played well enough to earn them a 4-2 lead.

With the win, Carvel got off the snide at Tsongas. Lindberg once again looked dominant in net. Read about that and more in my game story here.

I’ve been super proud of @LuluKesin ’s work all year, but this story just blew me away. She’s a phenomenal young writer who really delved into what it feels like to be a woman entering the sports media field. I could not emphasize enough how badly everyone needs to read it!
