Some results from yesterday:

UWRF drubs UWEC 5-0. The Blugolds are now 4-3 following recent losses to SMU and the defending champs.

Trinity sweeps Hamilton with a 3-0 win.

Plattsburgh defeats Buff State 4-0.

Utica defeats Nazareth 2-1 in OT to salvage a split after Nazareth gave the Pioneers their first loss on Friday.

GAC has a much easier time against Concordia-Moorhead Saturday with a 6-2 win. The Gusties had only a one goal margin in Friday's game.

Amherst sweeps Conn College 3-1
Midd beats Wesleyan 6-0 for a sweep.
Norwich defeats William Smith 4-2

SNC finishes a sweep of Aurora 4-1 to go to 8-0 ahead of their trip east to the Cardinal/Panther Classic next Saturday and Sunday. They will play host Plattsburgh on Saturday and then either Endicott or Middlebury on Sunday depending on how the Sat games end.

[Mr. PDub]

Endicott swept a home and home with Nichols, winning 6-0 at the Levy Rink in Burrillville, RI and 4-0 at the Raymond J. Bourque arena in Beverly, MA. The Gulls found their mojo against the Bison, outshooting them 100-32 over the weekend and getting shutout performances from Casey Moritz (Jr., Trophy Club, TX) on Friday and Celia Dahl (So., Orono, MN) on Saturday. Next up is a bus and ferry ride to Plattsburgh for a matchup with Middlebury on Saturday. Plattsburgh or the Green Nights of St. Norberts await them on Sunday.

The Hilbert at Potsdam two-game series this past weekend was canceled. The only thing I heard was on the men's broadcast, where they said Hilbert did not have enough healthy players to field a team.

Don't know whether this was due to injuries or illnesses. They only have 15 players on their roster to begin with, with three goalies, so that's 12 skaters. Either way, this doesn't bode well for that program which is supposed to join the UCHC next year.

As it is, they only have 19 games scheduled, which ends on February 1. Well, now 17 if this series doesn't get rescheduled. (Technically, these games should have been forfeited, but since they were nonconference match ups, it doesn't mean anything how they are recorded.)

As a plus, I do like their uniforms...

Will you be heading up to enjoy the weekend tourney in person? Endicott has won at the Ronny B before

On Saturday the weekend before, Hilbert dressed 2 goalies and 9 skaters against Utica. It is my understanding that they chose not to allow a running clock to hurry the game end.

Huge tournament this weekend in Tampa. On Friday, #5 Adrian faces #12 Trinity followed by #8 Utica v. #13 Norwich. (Now that's a tournament!)
On Saturday afternoon the winners play for the championship after the losers play for 3rd place.

#6 Plattsburgh wins an ugly one 3-1 against the Canton Kangaroos, handing the 'Roos their first loss to a ranked team this season.

Coach Kevin Houle reached career win 500, joining Bill Mandigo and Mike Carroll in the 500 win club.

It was a back and forth matchup up and down the ice, with the Cardinals having way more good chances than Canton.

Of the 4 goals scored in this game, Ciara Wall's power play goal to put the Cards up 2-0 was the only score that didn't go in off a defender. Ruegge, Wall and Conlon were the Plattsburgh scorers.

Plattsburgh hosts Buff State tomorrow, a team that has a win over Canton, a split in 2 games with Neumanm and a tie with Potsdam.

Canton will visit #7 Utica on Tuesday, their 3rd of 4 non-conference games against a ranked (or will likely be ranked) team this season. Their 4th is December 7th when they host Hamilton.

Late to the party here, but didn't Adrian split with Canton to open the season?

Ugh I forgot that was a two game set...

Yes should be a great tourney. Really hoping we get Utica vs Adrian.

We also have Card/Panther featuring two ranked teams in Midd and Plattsburgh alongside Endicott.

The Codfish Bowl at least has nationally ranked Amherst among their four.

Despite all of the talent in these three tourneys, University of Dubuque is tone deaf enough to use a tag line of "women's college hockey at its best" in posts for their tourney featuring them, MSOE, Lake Forest and SMU.

Oof. Bad slogan to say the least. Cardinal/Panther should be entertaining. How do Midd/Platt stack up this year? And how close are Endicott/SNC to contending for the NCAAs? Both the Gulls and Green Knights are very close to being ranked in both polls.

Midd looks to be strong and one of the east's best chances at stopping UWRF from repeating. They look well polished early in their season.

Plattsburgh is still a top program but they've taken another step backward as their offense is struggling to replace the production from Masotta, Pazmandi and Boric. Looking at Riley Calhoun's success at Utica it is hard as a Cardinal fan to not wonder if she could have helped bridged the gap if she had chosen to stay

Endicott is favored to take the CNE autobid so I would count on seeing them in the bracket. I don't know enough about them to guess as to if they could make it out of the first round. It depends on who they match with.

SNC is undefeated but none of the 4 teams they've played are very good. Their first real test is this Saturday against the Cardinals. And even if they come away with the Card/Panther as the underdogs that doesn't necessarily mean they make the tourney. Beating the Adrian Bulldogs for their conference tourney is a tall order.

[LongGame]

Hamilton got a win today, beat Morrisville pretty handily 5-1.

[Scott_TG]

#11 Cortland upsets #7 Elmira in a 3-0 shutout (ENG).

Upset alert: #14 Eau Claire leads #2 Gustavus 3-2 near the end of the 2nd.

[Scott_TG]

Eau Claire was fortunate to get an empty netter to make it 4-2 as the Gusties kept attacking and brought it to 4-3 with 1.5 seconds left in the game.

Great comeback win for the Blugolds who were down 2-0 early only to head into second intermission with a 3-2 lead. The freshman goalie made some great saves in the face of a heavy Gusties attack.

Final: #14 Eau Claire - 4, #2 GAC - 3
