Mired in a nine-game losing streak, New Hampshire is clearly not in a good place right now. Bill Herrion and his staff have tried a lot of things to get this team going, to no avail as of yet.

Nwakamma carries Hartford out of losing streak
Mark Nwakamma had a big second half to lead Hartford to a win at New Hampshire. It snapped the Hawks’ three-game losing streak and showed why he is their most important player.
Once again, UNH starts off conference play in alarming fashion
Wednesday night provided New Hampshire with an opportunity to get a jump on the competition in hosting the America East opener. That didn’t happen, and how they lost understandably has Bill Herrion concerned about this team.
How the conferences shake out as 2013 approaches
Non-conference play is almost over, and we’ve learned something about a lot of teams and conferences although some are still a mystery. With that in mind, we take a look at how every conference in America looks as the new calendar year approaches.

Maine’s early offensive struggles shouldn’t persist
Like most teams at this time of the year, Maine is very much a work in progress. In the Black Bears’ case, their early 0-2 mark, which could easily be 1-1, isn’t necessarily a sign of things to come with this team.
