I would say that Ciampini is in a position to break two more records, except that we face a whole slew of the nations best defensive teams (Yale, Cornell, Colgate and St. Lawrence) and even Brown is usually tough this time of year. Ciampini has 22 goals and 41 points.
SEASON
Goals ____________________________27
Jeremy Welsh, 2011-12
Points ___________________________50
Daniel Carr, 2013-14

In a worst case scenario, we only have 10 more games. Given our competition, that most likely will not be enough for Champ to break both of these records. However, if the first round goes to three games and the second goes to three games, then we are at 14 games to go and then possibilities open up. We still might not ever make it to lake placid but at least we may have extended the season long enough (4 games) for Champ and maybe Vec to break some season records.

Union at St. Lawrence
The Dutchmen have struggled to win on the second night of consecutive games, going 0-3 in such situations in 2015. Maybe this is a meaningless stat, but maybe it indicates an issue with fatigue in all or some of Union’s game. Goaltender Colin Stevens is 2-4 in his last six starts, allowing 20 goals in just under 330 minutes for a 3.7 GAA and .883 save percentage. Perhaps it’s time to ride sophomore Alex Sakellaropoulos? He has allowed just 11 goals in almost exactly the same amount of playing time since the holiday break; he also has .907 save rate. Beyond all that, SLU is rolling and I’m not sure Union is in the right place to stop the surging Saints. SLU wins.

I noticed this too but did not want to say anything .... we are all loyal to Colin and he well deserved all of last years accolades, awards and honors. I don't usually agree with Brian Sullivan on anything ..... but, IMO from here on out, I would lead with Alex.

Great win tonight! Hope Ciampini is ok after that brutal hit by Tansey. The ECAC needs to suspend him for multiple games, no place in college hockey for head shots, especially on the elite players. On to St. Lawrence tomorrow. Go U!

Any word on Ciampini? Ciampini and Vec closing in on school single season records. Wilkins is a tough gutsy player. We are not doing well in second weekend games. 0-3.

Nothing stellar last night IMO, but a win is a win. The game reminded me a bit of the beginning of last season : wins with no panache, but with guts and willpower. Let's go U !!!

That pass by Wilkins was unbelievable, he put it on a silver platter for Champ.

Notes:
Ciampini absorbed a hit at the 9:03 mark of the third period and did not take another shift. CU's Kevin Tansey was issued a major for contact to the head and received a game disqualification ....

Nothing stellar? Looked like 2014 and that was stellar!

He played and the hit wasn't dirty. Here is a photo of Tansey coming up from the ice exploding thru Ciampini's chest not the head. No elbow, not blind. It was one crushing hit though.

Clarkson is losing 4-0, no chance to win the game, and Tansey delivers that high hit on the nation's leading goal scorer. How is that hit not dirty? lol

If Clarkson had no chance to win the game, why was the nation's leading goal scorer on the ice? Just asking for trouble, which is almost what happened.

Not defending either side, just food for thought.

11:00 minutes to go should Clarkson stop playing?
