Following the 11-0 loss against the University of North Texas Friday night, the sound of clapping echoed down the hallway of the ice rink from the TCU locker room.
Head coach Derrell Upton said the round of applause was for the goaltender, Thomas Scoggin, who faced almost 50 shots on the night.
We were proud of him because he didnt quit and kept us in the game as long as he could, Upton said.
Scoggin, a former amateur hockey player, said he was frustrated throughout the night.
I lost count after four [goals], Scoggin said.
He said if a goalie doesnt treat each period like a new game, hed go crazy.
UNT scored six goals in the second period, two of which were scored in a matter of 14 seconds. TCU hit the locker room trailing 9-0.
