Kudos to coaches Appert and Leaman and our CD teams for supporting a great cause and continuing their good works for our community. No losers in this competition.

Yale...Friday night will be defining. No excuses...the Dutchmen either have it or don't. A loss, though not the end of the world, would be tough to digest and may leave the team with their collective nose against the NCAA window. Yale is not invincible. With Brown one of only two teams to beat them, Saturday night will be a dogfight as well. A win over Yale spools up the turbo for the remainder of the regular season. This is really, really big!

Please get them banged up and a few of them suspended for a game.

If Yale is on their game tonight then the only way Union can knock them off is to knock them off, their feet, that is. U has to slow them down all over the ice particularly in transition. Easier said than done, perhaps, but not out of the question. A true test tonight, indeed, contenders or pretenders? We should know by 9:00 or maybe earlier. Go U!

Agreed. The team has been looking for a program defining win the last few years and there's no better time than tonight for it to happen. The guys need to play their game and I think we'll be fine.

Biggest win in Union hockey (regular season) history? I think so! We just beat the #1 team in the nation!!!

Incredible...who would of thought just a few short years ago that Union would ever beat a #1 team? It's time to celebrate in Schenectady! On to Brown tomorrow!

I think I held my breath through the whole third period. What a game!!! Let's see some of the same tomorrow night!

Re: Union College Dutchmen Hockey 2010-11: There's one way and that's to Atlantic Cit

Arguably the biggest win that program has had so far. A defining win. The third period was rather nerve wracking but give Union credit for bending and not breaking. Union outplayed them through the first two periods.

The standing room only crowd at Messa got its money's worth tonight and then some. Hopefully Union has something left for Brown tomorrow night, but I expect Union will carry the momentum over and pick up another win.

Yes, I'd have to agree it's the biggest win in program history. Not the biggest game -- they lost that one in Albany last March -- but the biggest win. The Presizniuk goal to make it 3-1 was so huge, answering right back after Yale made it 2-1. And now Union can say they've beaten every top-ranked team they've hosted. I never thought I'd see the program having this kind of success, sitting through 20-loss seasons not all that long ago.
