Article Two: The Connector
https://umlconnector.com/2022/02/umass-lowell-mens-hockey-defeats-boston-college-and-dartmouth/
This article covers UMass Lowell’s men’s hockey teams weekend against Boston College and Dartmouth. I wanted to take a look at this article specifically because we recently discussed a sports article in class and I was searching to see if it had the important elements we talked about. The article starts with a strong lead that is direct and to the point. I also appreciate how the author included where the games were played, Friday being on the road and Saturday at home. These are subtle but important details for those who follow sports. The author also included a quote from the head coach of Lowell, who was also properly introduced before the quote as the head coach. Introducing him lets a reader who might not follow the team know who he is. While there were many positive aspects to the article, the word choice at times felt a little awkward. For example, the author said, “No scoring occurred until after the halfway point of the third period.” I would say, “The score remained 3-2 until…” I believe this makes the point more clear.
