“Our conference has really great parity and there are good teams throughout the conference. UNB is certainly at the top of the test list. They are No. 4 in the country for a reason.”Panthers head coach Forbie MacPherson acknowledged a similar situation in the men’s conference, adding the parity this year is off the charts, maybe even more so than in previous years.
UNB is 6-2-0-0 and tied in points with Moncton for first place, but the Reds have played one fewer game. UNB was ranked third in this week’s USPORTS rankings while Moncton was No. 7. “That’s something we focus on and work on a lot,” said MacPherson referencing an emphasis on defensive play. “Ultimately, a lot comes down to the person between the pipes as well and Jonah had a big weekend and made the saves he needed to make. He was rewarded for all his hard work, and we hope to continue that same pattern.”
