River Falls with a convincing 4-1 (ENG) win over St. Thomas. I only saw the lat 14 mins of the third, but in what I saw River Falls was in control the whole time.
In other action, Nazareth provided a bit of a rain cloud over Utica's 7th Annual Gold Ribbon Game, as the Golden Flyers beat the Pioneers 3-1.
Oswego overcame Morrisville's Mackenzie Lombardi scoring twice in 18 seconds by rattling off 3 straight goals in the final frame for a 4-2 win.
Tonight's action has the playoff picture looking like:
Pool As:
CHC: Endicott (4t)
MIAC: Hamline (9)
NCHA: Adrian (14)
NEHC: Norwich (11)
NESCAC: Middlebury (2)
NEWHL: Plattsburgh (1)
UCHC: Nazareth* (20)
*Naz and Elmira are tied in the UCHC standings by points. First tiebreaker in the UCHC is H2H, which Naz wins as they beat Elmira early in the season and the rematch is yet to come.
Pool Cs:
Eau Claire (3)
Elmira (4t)
GAC (6)
Looking at the field and the onus on the committee to prevent QF flights, the first rounds are Naz @ Adrian with winner at Elmira. Second first round will be either 11 Norwich @ 4t Endicott (putting them @ Elmira risks flights) or 6 GAC @ 9 Hamline. I think the latter is more likely, while it gives the 11 PWR a bye instead of the 6 it keeps both 4 PWR teams out of the first round.
First Round:
[10] Nazareth @ [9] Adrian
[6] GAC @ [7] Hamline
Quarters:
[8] Norwich @ [1] Plattsburgh**
Naz/Adrian @ [5] Elmira**
[4] Endicott @ [2] Middlebury
GAC/Hamline @ [3] Eau Claire
**Does anyone know if the brackets set at the beginning where whoever wins a first round goes to a specific opponent regardless of the result? Or if say Nazareth beats Adrian would they as the 10 seed in the tourney go to face #1 Plattsburgh and Norwich would visit Elmira instead?
