Colgate 24-25

Has anyone else noticed the USCHO WOMEN'S ECAC standings points differ for several teams from the CollegeHockeyNews and ECAC sites?

Yes - I believe that the point calculations on the CHN and ECAC sites are currently correct and the USCHO site currently has several mistakes.

Cornell eating our lunch half way through second period. We seem listless and slow...

I don't get how the hit on Kalty in 2nd wasn't a game misconduct. Watched it on the replay and it was a really hard hit right to the head. Much less no penalty at all.

We played pretty awful today, impressive that we only lost by one.

Thought Kalty had a game dq? Is any of this on the coach? Slow starts, being outshot, and playing from behind feels like a trend over the last few seasons.

Brick and Kalty both played. Sambrano is also back so we had 5 real defense. I think the team has always started slow. I'm not sure what was going on yesterday, especially first period. Cornell just had them beat all over the ice. If they had played the entire 60 like the played the 3rd period, I think the game may have gone better for them. That being said, I think they are doing well this season given the graduations they had, a new head coach, two new assistant coaches, and losing a strong defender in a late transfer over the summer. Murphy looked fantastic last night and the two goals were on the rest of the team and not her.

As a side note, watching the Sirens games that Fargo coaches now, they also seem to start slow and have to battle back a lot too. Osborne got her first start last week and Serdachny scored the first goal on her in that game.

We played well today against a very good Cornell team. A 180 from yesterday's first period. Murphy remains lights out and is giving us a chance every game. I also can't believe how hard Kalty is playing, she's been a beast and a great Captain! I expect the polls will remain the same on Monday...

Should be a weekend with two competitive home games. Q and P are playing well. 'Gate needs six periods of solid play.

Looking forward to a great weekend of hockey. Hopefully they bring last week's Saturday team and not Friday's. Q is always fast and one of my fave match ups to watch every year.

Another game where Colgate was greatly outshot, but somehow they managed to outscore their opponents with quality goals. Murphy was stellar in goal, despite a miscue that led to a Quinnipiac score.

Scoring came from three different lines tonight. The Raiders have eight forwards with seven or more goals on the season.

Wth Brown's comeback overtime win against host St. Lawrence, the Raiders and Big Red now share first place in the league – just a half point ahead of St. Lawrence.

Was surprised to see both St. Lawrence and Clarkson losing games at home.

Hoping 'Gate avenges their overtime loss to Princeton earlier in the season with a solid win tomorrow.

Have never appreciated when a goalie plays the puck behind the goal, men or women. Unless it's a breakaway, it is a recipe best left uneaten! Qpac has got to be scratching its head over that loss. They are a well-balanced team with both great defense and offense, but not sure their goalie had her best game. Q goalies are very stingy, like Cornell and Clarkson's. Murphy redeemed herself for sure. Nice to see former Colgate player Tessa Holk have a good game and give some post-game hugs, but sorry to have to see her or anyone leave the team. For possibly having the youngest team in the nation with transfers, graduations, not to mention coaching changes, Colgate is holding its own! Where do we stand on recruits for next season? This seemed like a down year.
IMO Colgate/ESPN has the worst-quality video broadcasts in all of hockey. Just don't get it.

Excellent weekend of hockey, Murphy great and Kalty and EB totally back in form. Kalty now just 17 points behind Danielle's all time points lead of 239. It will be fun to see if she can catch her. Next year we appear th have an excellent class coming in with a number of U-18 Canadian team and one US team members on it. Most importantly there are 2 Defense studs that we desperately need. It's been a while since we've seen Gwen E so I'm postulating her injury was a fairly severe concussion. I hope it's not the case but given her impressive academic plans for the coming years risking further injury this year may not be in the cards. That said, Google "Rink women's college commitments" for a good view of most of our recruits along with everyone else's. Dorothy Colletti a big Canadian forward is not listed yet but she's coming too. We do appear to have lost a skater to BC, Maxim Tremblay from Stanstead College Que where A Aubin is from. Her name is still on the list but her instagram suggests it's now BC. A good sized class is coming in...

Very good to hear !

The USCHO staff have fixed the errors in the ECAC Women's point totals. They now appear to be correct. (They responded quickly after I emailed them.)
