By Gates MacPherson CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Climate Reality Project, a group that only became a recog- nized student organization at the end of last semester, held its fi rst meeting of the calendar year on Tuesday, Jan. 31 in room 327 of Dimond Library. One of the biggest projects the group completed was during the fall of 2015, when members handed out petitions for students to sign showing support for the Paris climate talks. The signatures were eventually delivered to the talks, along with petitions from all over the country showing support for a global initiative on climate change. According to Climate Reality Project President Nicole William- son, the group received a letter from President Obama thanking Carlos Martens/Staff them for their support Director of the UNH offi ce of multicultural student aff airs (OMSA), Sean McGhee, speaks to the crowd at the “Solidarity The club is open to all stu- with Refugees and Against Deportations” rally in front of T-Hall. dents, and though many of the members are studying fi elds re- lated to environmental science, Members of UNH community stand in solidarity against Trumps’ immigration ban there is no lack of diversity in the studies of those attending the By Mark Kobzik Deportations rally on Thompson try.

eting websites now convert- ing to an online-based system, the time for UNH to step up to the plate and create a system of their own had come.

Shoot hard and shoot often on Woll, generating solid rebound chances will be a huge factor 2/17 at No. 3 Boston University 6 p.m. in finding the back of the net.

UMass Lowell: Size Advantage Tyler Kelleher

What works against the Wildcats in this contest is the size matchup. For the River Hawks, 17 of 28 men on the roster surpass six feet, creating a problem of finding shot lanes and de-congesting traffic. The ‘Cats need to use their speed to get an edge on UMass Lowell. Speed in transition and and steady puck handling are going to be the focal points in this crucial matchup.

UMass Lowell: Special Teams

UMass Lowell has one of the most potent special teams units that the league currently has to offer. The River Hawks have the best penalty kill in the league, killing 61 of 68 total opportunities. On the powerplay, the River Hawks rank third in Hockey East with a 22.6 percent power-play efficiency. If the Wildcats are going to get man up chances, they will have to make good of it, and for a team that has killed 10 of its last 13 penalty kills, the River Hawks aren’t a team to give up much in that regard. The Wildcats are 1-10 on their last 10 power plays. Execution of specials teams is a must to come away with a victory over UMass Lowell. CHINA WONG/STAFF

SPOTLIGHT Save time, go online UNH athletics launches ‘overdue’ online ticket system for students and fans

By BRIAN DUNN SPORTS EDITOR

If you aren’t a fan of walk- ing to the box office at the Whit- temore Center to claim your UNH athletics tickets, then fear no more. UNH athletics has officially launched an online system that al- lows students to claim tickets for all UNH athletic events. With this in place, students and fans can now skip the box office entirely and print out copies of their UNH ticket right from their place of res- idence. More importantly for stu- dents is the opportunity to down- load tickets directly to a mobile device to get into events. This not only saves time, but, accord- ing to Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs Jon Danos, is also more convenient ZACK HOLLER/STAFF, BRIAN DUNN/STAFF for the fans.
