Pachal, Lorion leave team as Huskies drop a pair

January 14, 2003

By Kimberly Peterson They didn't play the way they wanted to play. They didn't score the way they thought they would score. Most importantly, they didn't win. No. 6 New Hampshire thoroughly thrashed Northeastern, sweeping the Huskies last weekend with a pair of 3-0 losses. "I...
