UML hockey notebook: River Hawks hoping to March into playoffs on bright note – Lowell Sun

I hope I'm wrong, but I get the feeling tomorrow is the last home game of the season. Just a thoroughly disappointing season.

[UMLFan]

Lowell MBB will host their first ever DI playoff game at what is expected to be a sold-out Costello, with Maine coming to town. Lowell's 2nd place finish in the AE was their highest ever, and their 24-7 record is their best in D1 history. The Hawks will also be trying to up their best ever 15-0 home record, and with a win will have a 17th home game on Tuesday.

Tomorrow's game will be on ESPN+ at 4pm. Maine played Lowell tough this year, losing by 2 at Lowell and winning by 5 at home.

Only way they have another home game is if drop to 6th. Nothing this team has done recently screams confidence that they'll take points from NU.

They actually had one of their best second periods in a while. Grigals save on the penalty shot was outstanding (#5 on ESPN's Top 10). Good crowd as well. We're tied into the 4th or 5th seed, and will play Saturday vs UConn. Tonight's results will decide who hosts that game.

Go Lowell tonight. Good luck to basketball today as well.

That 3rd NU goal was absolutely a kick

I don't know who this becker guy is and I don't remember him in recruiting but man he's had a heck of a two minute span

[Patman]

alright, tonight was shameful. Lets see if their brains can get it together for the QF game.

Yup, after a very good game last night a real stinker tonight. Their net front coverage was terrible.

The announcers mentioned Ben Meehan left the ice in pain, I'm not sure if he ever returned. Hopefully he'll be available Saturday.

the double penalty call was deserved. almost thought we'd get one in our favor later.

Feel bad for Grigals but I felt like he wasn't given a lot of help

Lowell hosts UNH tonight in an AE semifinal matchup. The winner will play either Vermont or Binghamton. Lowell will be looking to improve to 17-0 at home this season, and with a win and a Bing upset win at UVM, Lowell would host the AE Final this weekend. A win tonight gives Lowell a chance to make the NCAA D1 Tournament for the first time ever. Go Lowell.

Not to put cart before horse but if anybody is thinking of the possibility of what comes after Saturday if the fortunate happens I'm all ears.

Lowell struggled but beat UNH last night 75-64, to improve to 26-7 on the year, and 17-0 at home. Saturday at 11AM (ET) Lowell will be at UVM (22-10), game will be on ESPN2. One more win to make the NCAA DI Tournament! Lowell's last loss was 2/11 (7 games ago) to Vermont. Vermont's last loss was 15 games ago to ... Lowell. Both teams won their home games. Let's Go Lowell!

For anyone thinking of doing it, it's 256 miles from Patrick Gymnasium to Toscano Family Ice Forum. At a little over 4 hours, you'd miss at least the 1st period of the hockey game.

depends how many police officers are between point A and point B. : )

edit: I was VERY disappointed in crowd noise last night. UNH outnoised the crowd last night easily.

If anyone is in the Nashua area, there'll be a couple of us at Boston Billiards to watch the Lowell/UVM America East Final tomorrow at 11.
