Well, then that's encouraging. I was basing my comments on several good views of the stands throughout the game on the opposite side of where the team benches are located as well as the concourse above those which looked pretty much deserted.

It was a gradual process, with progressively more fans leaving as the second semi went on. Whether it would have been different with a better game I don't know.

Sometimes it's best to be quiet....And by golly did I learn that lesson today
Some teams instruct their players and by extension their parents to stay of the boards. Not sure if that is the case here, but I know our D's team has done this in the past.
LOL, my time spent away from the boards is more attributed to travel and beverage consumption than anything else.
I just want to say that while all of us in green acknowledge that last night kind of sucked, we are really so fricken proud of our girls. Regardless of how quickly things transpired in the game, nothing will ever erase the tremendous feeling of hearing my daughter's name announced in the starting lineup of a frozen four game. She could have got lit up 10-0 in the first period, and I'd still feel every bit as proud.
The whirlwind over the last 4 weeks has been a truly amazing experience. Watching her and her team as they were winning close games, being acknowledged with awards, being asked to attend press conferences, being interviewed for articles in her home newspaper as well as in Erie and on USCHO......... absolutely none of this gets erased by one shaky performance, even if it did happen to come in such a high profile game. Mr. UConn Fan, I would respectfully submit to you, and I think you would agree, given what my daughter's college experience had been up to this point, in the last few weeks she ripped that softball out of the park!
The final horn sounded last night and of course we were a bit down and disappointed, but like I told my daughter and several of her teammates that I'm close with, "You were here, and no one can take that away from you!"
Congratulations Mercyhurst, and yes....Ice is still doing a happy dance!
I want to say congratulations to Ms. Sperry on a very nice game last night. To suggest that she handled many quality shots would be to actually give Mercyhurst credit for something, to which I'll only suggest that our critics can't have it both ways. LOL But seriously, I thought we did have at least a few high quality chances....couple of which we shot just off net but those that were on target were neatly and efficiently handled by Ms. Sperry and I fully respect her effort and performance in last night's game. Good luck to BU..... rooting for you all the way!

Yes, the concourse was packed after the UM-BC games, but I was able to walk completely around the concourse about ten minutes later without much of a problem. I was in section 14 and had the most trouble going against the flow as I walked towards to the far end and UM fans were still moving towards the exit. Once I got to the far end the crowd thinned out and I had no problem the rest of the way around the arena. Another tell-tale sign was that the concessions had very short lines as I passed them. In my opinion the crowd that remained was smaller than 2,700, maybe half full, so about 1,700. The attendance at the Women's Frozen Four has been discussed before on the <a href= http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?89839-Attendance-at-NCAA>Attendance at NCAA thread</a>.
As for the game, I thought BU played one of their better games of the year. I also thought that the goal that was disallowed deflated them and energized Mercyhurst, as the Lakers outplayed the Terriers for what seemed like a good 10 minutes afterwards. I though BU finally got on track late in the first and their second goal early in the second seemed to deflate Mercyhurst.

Re: 2013 NCAA Semifinal: Boston University vs. Mercyhurst
Thanks, but my comment was not directed at Sperry, she was only incidental to it. But after seeing your post I wondered if I had possibly heard it wrong...just went back through the replay and I did hear him correctly. Here's what he said...
"Sperry's had a heck of a year, she's 23 and 4 this year, 2.14 goals against average, save percentage just beow 88% and stacked up against anybody not named Raty, those are strong numbers"...to which A.J responded "they are" and then she went on to talk about Sperry's apparent inconsistent play this season.
So, he said that it was BELOW 88% which is even worse.
My point was simply that, regardless of whether or not the less than 0.88 save percentage was actually what Sperry had achieved this season which I suspected was not accurate, he should have known better than to state that that was a strong number when it's a very average to weak number and certainly nothing to be boasting about. A.J. should also haved known better than to agree with him...a little diplomatic correction would have been in order.

Re: 2013 NCAA Semifinal: Boston University vs. Mercyhurst
I haven't seen or heard the broadcast....I have no idea what AJ said or didn't say.... but for the last several years she has been the voice of women's hockey on any national broadcast, internet or TV..... and she really sucks. No charisma, no first hand knowledge of anything, maybe she has rubbed shoulders with players who are on or clsoe to the national team, but she really doesn't have a freakin clue and she is a horror show to listen to.
My days are over, but I really hope someone somewhere has the balls to tell her, hon you were a great a player but you really freakin suck in the annoucners booth.
Get her the heck out of there.

Re: 2013 NCAA Semifinal: Boston University vs. Mercyhurst
I've got to say to all the parents out there that you guys deserve a ton of credit for the commitment you've had over the years for your girls. I'm an avid MU fan and I've seen a lot of you at games, met you at beef & beetles, an utterly enjoyed every Laker home game and some away (Cornell was the best!). I am always sad when the season ends especially the way this season did but I am so proud of all the girls and their parents who often drive endless miles to support their kids. I can't wait until next year. I've officially be a Laker since 1971 and proud of it and proud of you.

Re: 2013 NCAA Semifinal: Boston University vs. Mercyhurst
I have to say Mercyhurst has the best fans and community support. We were always happy to see a number of faithful that made as many games as they could, home and away. It is also amazing how the team interacts with the fans..high fives for everyone and anyone that was waiting at the gate.
Thank you MCLaker74...not sure who you are..maybe we've met..Our last trip down will be for Graduation in May..It is sooo bitter sweet...was a great 4 years but this one was terrific
