UW Stevens Point pulled their goalie with 10:17 to play down 4-0. Went down 5-0 28 seconds later. Pulled her again with 9:06 left and 8:03 left. Trying to bust the shutout I guess.

Steven's Point has a pretty solid history of this. I remember games back when I was in college 02-04 era when they literall went half a game without a goalie against UW-Superior.

Holy cow! 36 minutes of empty net and they still used three goaltenders. You’ve got a heck of a memory!

I’m accused of that often! But it was such a strange event! The other game that weekend was pretty close to that as well. Pretty much played whole 3rd with an empty net.
 
Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores

St. Scholastica with a 2-0 lead over Lake Forest with one period remaining in regulation. Both scores came in the 2nd frame.

Greta Nundahl has a goal and an assist and Thomeczek has made 27 saves so far in this game being played at neutral Arrington Arena in Adrian, MI.

Winner takes on Adrian for the NCHA Championship tomorrow at 3:00 PM ET.

William Smith vs Manhattanville (at Elmira) (7PM ET)

NESCAC Semifinals
Hamilton @ Middlebury (1PM ET)

Gustavus holds off Augsburg to take the MIAC

3-0, in what was very close until the very end
 
Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores

And Amherst beats 2 seeded Colby. This could change with the last UCHC semifinal but it looks like Eau Claire is still the #3 PWR, River Falls will claim the 2nd Pool C.

It looks like if both Middlebury and Elmira win out tomorrow that the final Pool C will be Amherst, Augsburg or Hamilton.

If the field was picked right now it would be Amherst but they may fall if they lose tomorrow (and if they win Midd is almost certainly a Pool C).

EDIT: Endicott cashes in on their Pool A bid, beating UNE for the final CHC Championship.

Any thoughts on if Adrian/St Scholastica gets shipped East or West? I assume it depends on if Augsburg grabs the last Pool C?

Adrian will go to Elmira as always. It’s a required matchup per NCAA rules as Elmira is the only team within the 500 mile drive limit.

Adrian won and St. Scholastica is too far down the PWR to be considered. With the restrictions on travel Adrian will definitely play Elmira in the quarterfinals if Elmira wins tomorrow. They will not be a first round matchup as it would risk having to fly Adrian out for a quarterfinal if they beat Elmira in that game.

Here's what the tournament looks like right now:

Pool A bids:
CHC: Endicott
MIAC: Gustavus Adolphus
NCHA: Adrian
NEHC: Norwich
NEWHL: Plattsburgh
NESCAC: Winner of Amherst @ Middlebury
UCHC: Winner of Manhattanville @ Elmira

Pool C bids:
UW-Eau Claire
UW-River Falls
Amherst


Scenarios:
If Amherst wins, I don't think Middlebury would fall behind enough for Augsburg to overtake them. I think it would just be a swap of who is Pool A and who is Pool C and what ever implications it has on seeding.

Amherst has 59 points and the next Pool C is Augsburg sitting at 57. If Amherst loses tomorrow, Augsburg needs Amherst's RPI to drop below both them and Norwich. Augsburg and Amherst have no common opponents so their comparison for 1 PWR point is on RPI alone and that would leave them tied at 58 PWR points.

On the way down to where Augsburg is in RPI would take Amherst below Norwich in RPI as well and that would swing the PWR point decided between Amherst and Norwich over to the Cadets as Norwich has the COP advantage but Amherst has the H2H. Whoever finishes with the higher RPI after tomorrow wins that point. If Amherst falls below Norwich and Augsburg in RPI, it would give them 57 points and Augsburg would still have 58.

If Amherst if the Pool C:
First Round:
Norwich @ Amherst
GAC @ River Falls

QF:
Norwich/Amherst @ Plattsburgh
Endicott @ Middlebury
GAC/UW-RF @ UW-Eau Claire
Adrian @ Elmira

If Augsburg is the Pool C, I think they might put the four Wisconsin/Minnesota teams in the first round to avoid the flights:
First Round:
Augsburg @ Eau Claire
GAC @ River Falls

QF:
Norwich @ Plattsburgh
Endicott @ Middlebury
GAC/River Falls @ Augsburg/Eau Claire
Adrian @ Elmira

This avoids both having flights before the semis and intra-conference games in the first round so the bracket works.

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores

I'd be very surprised if Amherst fell below Augsburg considering the .0088 RPI gap. Amherst's win percentage will drop by .0298 with a loss but that's only 25 percent of the formula (.0075 off its RPI). And Amherst will get an SOS boost from playing a 21-2-3 team.

Where things would get really interesting is if Amherst and Manhattanville both win tomorrow, knocking Elmira out. That would mean Adrian would have to fly somewhere and make the bracket a lot harder to predict.

I'll give it a shot

If the Amherst and Manhattanville win the field would be:
Plattsburgh
Middlebury
Endicott
Eau Claire
River Falls
GAC
Amherst
Norwich
Adrian
Manhattanville

I think they would try to cut down on flights by putting Adrian through to the QF, but they have to play one seeded Plattsburgh to balance that out. They did that with St. Thomas flying to Plattsburgh a few years ago. I also think they may put the two Wisconsin teams and GAC to avoid a flight in the quarters involving any of them.

First round:
Manhattanville @ Norwich
GAC @ River Falls


QF
Adrian @ Plattsburgh
Norwich/Manhattanville @ Middlebury
GAC/RF @ UW-Eau Claire
Amherst @ Endicott

At the point where flights before the semis are inevitable this guarantees only 1 and it avoids intra-conference in the first round as well.

If the first rounds were out East in this scenario there still wouldn’t be any QF flights.

Swap GAC/RF vs Aug/EC with End/Midd vs Nor/Platts and you don’t have any QF flights.

However with the current rankings, it does make more sense for the first rounds to be out west.


Of course the intelligent thing to do is take 5 grand of the multibillions they are about to make off Basketball and fly the Adrian/Elmira winner in a QF matchup.
