Tonight’s Takeaways: Hat Tricks Given No Breathing Room In Loss Versus Maryland

Nov 23, 2024

Danbury, CT | Patrick Frenette

The Hat Tricks were bested by the Maryland Black Bears, following a 4-1 defeat. This was the third game these teams have played against each other this season.

Turnovers Cause Problems

The Hat Tricks defense was suffocated by Maryland who would apply pressure all night long. A few turnovers would be forced by Maryland that led to costly happenings in the Hat Tricks defensive zone. Jack Fialkoff would see 34 shots during the night, making saves on 30 of said shots.

Falling Back on Bad Habits 

Hat Tricks looked to flat throughout the contest, which has been similar to what we have seen in the past during these rough losses. Although it can become a loss of morale which could be tough to come back from, the Mallozzi goal offered a glimmer of what could have been in the contest. However, the intermission may have iced that momentum.
