These are the Dutchman’s first matches for the reason that 2-0 loss to Princeton on December 9-10 and the 8-1 loss to Quinnipiac.
It was in all probability a depressing two weeks off for the staff. However Hauge believes the gamers obtained by it.

Taking part in towards a non-conference opponent in New Hampshire offers Hauge the prospect so as to add a participant who has been underperforming this season to their lineup. However he is aware of the significance of those video games to getting his staff on observe for 2023.
“We are able to come again with extra our bodies and get some completely different guys within the lineup and provides probabilities to guys who in all probability did not get as a lot.” [playing time] As they need,” mentioned Hauge. “However they must earn it in apply this week. These are the video games we have to win.”
