Two teams that don’t want to lose to the other, coming off losses. Should be fun

[engineerhockeyfan]

We have had a tendency to make the occasional bad decision in the defensive zone. Until last night, Marshall was able to cancel that out.
We need to make better decisions if we want to advance this season.
Lets go red!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sums it up perfectly. Virtually all of the SLU scores were directly related to a defensive lapse or inability to clear or just a poor decision. Marshall was not to blame on the goals and in fact made some terrific saves all game long or the score could have been a lot worse. Just a shame since we had times where we were just dominant in the offensive zone and missed some clear opportunities to score. These things happen and better now than later in the season so we have time to work on it and clean up our defensive zone play. All credit to SLU though as they just kept coming up ice in waves and kept the pressure on especially in the last 2 minutes of each period.

[fr. joe]

Football: RPI and SLU are tied at 7 with about 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
Ithaca is leading Union 23-7 midway through the 4th quarter.

[fr. joe]

SLU misses a short range field goal as time expires. Tied at 7, overtime in Canton.

[fr. joe]

Ithaca 26, Union 7 final

[DrDemento]

Ithaca 26, Union 7 final

Ithaca in the driver's seat for the league championship unless we come back and win today and then go to Union and win. We hold the tie break against Ithaca! Next week Union cannot win the league even if they beat us. Just have to keep fingers crossed that we can find a way to win this one today

[fr. joe]

Both teams scored on first possessions. Tied at 14.
Have to get ready for 4:30 Mass.

We have a final -RPI wins in 2OT 22-20 and next week plays at Union. A win there and we get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Any other result and Ithaca gets the bid. Regardless this has been a very successful season as RPI is now 8-1 and 4-1 in the Liberty League games. All this in spite of playing all their home games without the support of a home crowd.

RPI women lost today to #8 Quinnipiac, 1-0. I wasnt able to watch but would love to get a description from anyone who did. Especially interested in hearing about the RPI parade to the penalty box over a 9 minute stretch at end of second through first half of the third: Larsen 2 mins for tripping at 18:54 of the second, then another 2 for elbowing at 4:51 of the third, and then nine seconds later Weiss is given 5 mins for hitting from behind plus a 10 min misconduct, and before that major is up, Wagner goes off at 7:45 for tripping. Four full minutes of 5 on 3 during that major. Somehow the Engineers survived all of that but couldn't get the equalizer.

Gooood news! Today's win makes next weekend all the more important! All season the Times Union and the Gazette have all but anointed Union the Monsters of the Midway. Somehow we're tied going into the Shoes Game.

[engineerhockeyfan]

We are going to learn a lot about this team tonight. Coming off the tough loss last night we will see how they come out tonight, and that will show us what kind of team we will have going forward. They don't have to win, but they have to be tough to beat.

Great that the ladies survived the penalties but the effects of those penalties linger for much of the rest of the game. Lines have to be juggled, time on ice is altered and so often the box score cannot represent all the effects of being short handed, and especially the time spent 5 on 3 defending. I did not see most of the game but from the description it would certainly be nice to know if the penalties were all deserved? if the penalties seemed to be called all one way? Only then can a team address what they are doing or not doing properly.
