Despite scoring fi rst in both contests, the ‘Cats’ inability to fi n- ish was the glaring problem of the weekend. “[Friday night] was a heck of a game and we had a chance to win it but we couldn’t get it done,” head coach Dick Umile said of his teams disappointing fi nish. “[We had a] 4-2 lead and we didn’t get it done.” Senior forward and Hobey Baker Award nominee Tyler Kelleher led the charge for the ‘Cats on the weekend with a six- point performance. Kelleher’s ef- forts now put him atop the lead- erboard of the nation’s leading point scorers with 57 points. De- spite Kelleher’s efforts, the team came out with only a single point in the conference standings, put- ting them as the eighth seed with a chance to fl uctuate next weekend. Friday’s game for the most part seemed to look to go the Wildcats’ way, as UNH was tak- ing it to one of the top teams in the country.
