Takeaways from Merrimack's 4-3 win over Holy Cross: The Warriors find a way, even if it wasn't wire-to-wire

WORCESTER, Mass. — What a rollercoaster.

The Warriors were down, up, down again, and then finished on a high note with a 4-3 win over Holy Cross in overtime Tuesday night at the Hart Center.

After three games in five days, the Warriors now have a well-earned nine days off. 

Below are my takeaways from Tuesday's game, including thoughts on:

• Merrimack had another slow start and some troubling third-period turnovers, but found a way to get a win.

• Zachary Borgiel was outstanding in this game.

• The Warriors skill advantage was evident, especially at 5-on-3. 

• Plus some quick hits on the penalties, a player ready to break out, and more.
