Huskies Win on the Road

The Huskies pulled out a close 3-2 victory over Proctor Academy in their first contest of the season.  Sophomore Katie Kavka '28 put the Huskies ahead in the first period with her first Husky goal on a beautiful top shelf wrist shot.  Proctor then answered with a goal of their own tying the game at 1.  Sophomore Helen Xu '28 had several near misses before connecting on a short side backhand just lifting the puck over the pad of the Proctor net-minder putting the Huskies up 2-1.  Xu connected again on an end to end rush that resulted in getting her own rebound to wrap it around and tuck it in for a 3-1 Husky lead.  Proctor keep up the pressure and was able to come within 1. Despite keeping up the pressure, the Hornets ran out of time and couldn't get another past Husky goaltender Sarah Pollard '27 who made several keys saves down the stretch to preserve the victory.  A big Husky high five to several players including senior captain Callie Paquette '26, and 9th graders Zoe Edwards '29 and Anna Perfield '29 who showed their versatility by playing both forward and defense as needed and working hard at both ends of the ice.  It was a great first effort of the season!
