Defense Statistics
This section contains miscellaneous statistical information, which in this case is the team's record when certain defensemen are paired together. For example, when Birnstill and Liotti are paired together on defense, the Huskies are 1-8-2. ( one win, eight losses, and two ties). The depth of statistical information that a broadcaster goes into is a matter of personal taste. I love anecdotal information and trivia because it supports the play by play. This information is acquired through game notes and team websites, which in this case are very comprehensive at the college level. The SID's (sports information directors) provide this information and are there to assist with questions for the media.
