Takeaways: Warriors were effective clogging up the D zone

BOSTON — Merrimack beat Northeastern 4-1 on Saturday night at Matthews Arena. Inside this post are my quick takeaways from Saturday’s game.

MERRIMACK'S BACK END CAME UP BIG: The Warriors entered the game with just six healthy defensemen, and they all contributed in one way or another. As detailed in our game story, two defensemen scored (Dennison and Bookman). Christian Felton led the team in blocked shots, and Zachary Borgiel was fantastic all night. It was a tremendous effort from the blue line back.
