UNH 4, Dartmouth 0

Durham, n.h. — Angus Crookshank scored two first-period goals and added an assist as New Hampshire (4-7-5) swept a home-and-home series from Dartmouth (4-5-1).

“I felt bad for Fergy (Jeff Ferguson),” Big Gereen coach Bob Gaudet said in a news release. “It wasn’t his fault. As a team, we were not good at the start of tonight’s game, and they capitalized on it.

“Hockey is a funny game. We spotted them early and couldn’t find a way back out of it,” Gaudet continued. “It’s a game that you can learn from your past, but sometimes it’s better to have amnesia. We just have to move on and look ahead to the next game.”

Dartmouth returns to action on Friday at Boston University, another Hockey East foe.
