Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
SUNY Oswego is down to one goalie on the roster, senior Rachel Farmer. I've seen that they have a goalie from Meijer AAA (Hiebert, who has a 2.17 GAA in 27 games) slated for the fall, but they're in trouble if anything happens to Farmer between now and the end of the year. And they're going to have to find another goalie as either a recruit or transfer for the fall (if they don't already have one lined up) just to have a backup.

Hamilton up 1-0 on Midd almost midway through the third pd.
Edit: Hamilton with the 2-0 final. Middlebury had a late power play but when re-entering the zone after a weak clear by Hamilton it looks like it hit the ref's leg at which point the Hamilton player clears it down and the Continentals score the shorty at the other end.
Edit: I might have been hearing things but I'm fairly sure the Hamilton announcer at one point referred to Middlebury's venerated head coach as "Billy Mandingo"...

Would think Hamline jumps up after a tie and a convincing win over Gustavus. They lead the standings in MIAC

Hamline took over first place in the MIAC this weekend so they would be the Pool A team replacing GAC...

Latest PWR rankings above. If the season ended today and you took the conference leader as the tournament champion, you would have the following:
Colonial - Endicott (4)
MIAC - Hamline (8)
NCHA - Adrian (13)
NEHC - Norwich (14)
NESCAC - Middlebury (2)
NEWHL - Plattsburgh (1)
UCHC - Elmira (5)
Pool C - Eau Claire (3)
Pool C - Gustavus Adolphus (6)
Pool C - Amherst (7)
Option 1
First Round:
Norwich at Amherst
Adrian at Elmira
Quarterfinals:
Norwich/Amherst at Plattsburgh
Hamline at Gustavus Adolphus
Endicott at Middlebury
Adrian/Elmira at Eau Claire
Option 2
First Round:
Norwich at Amherst
Hamline at Gustavus Adolphus
Quarterfinals:
Norwich/Amherst at Plattsburgh
Adrian at Elmira
Endicott at Middlebury
Hamline/Gustavus at Eau Claire
Option 2 is likely the option that would be picked to avoid having a flight in the quarterfinal round.

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
Big midweek matchups: Middlebury @ Norwich on Tuesday and River Falls @ St. Thomas on Wednesday. I think Norwich is playing with house money on Tuesday. They don't stand to lose something they have going for them if they lose (their projected seed for March is already the 10 and I think Pool C is moot for them in that they almost certainly won't need it and their schedule is too soft for them to climb the many teams ahead of them in PWR in the extremely unlikely event they do). Midd has all the pressure where if they have a bad result in a tough conference tourney they could be left out, and the risk of sliding out of Pool C contention is greater if they get upset tomorrow.
Wednesday I think River Falls needs it more simply because they don't have a Pool A or Pool B to fall back on. It also may help them to have a win over St. Thomas if St. Thomas can go on to beat Hamline later this month, given Hamline is currently above them for Pool C consideration. They way it looks currently in the PWR, if anyone but Gustavus wins the MIAC, River Falls is out of the tourney. But there are too many games between the top western teams left (RF/EC and St. Thomas/Hamline home and homes coming up this month plus conference tourneys) to say that the Falcons should start rooting for the Gusties throughout February.

I think Norwich needs this game as much as Middlebury does. Having gone 0-3-1 against ranked teams so far, Norwich is in need of a signature win heading in tournament play. Right now, this team feels ripe to be picked off in their conference tournament.

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
I think their ranked opponent struggles and NEHC dominance are compartmentalized. They're +71 in conference goal differential and have yet to concede a goal at home to a conference opponent (and they'll be at home during the conference tourney). They went 5-0 in conference play after going 0-3-1 to start the second half. I think that Norwich is winning the NEHC conference championship even if the Panthers drop 9 on them tonight like the 2014 Plattsburgh team.

Norwich had a 2-0 deficit after 2 and fought back to tie #2 Middlebury for a 2-2 final. The Cadets' pair of former Methuen-Tewksbury standouts Amanda Conway and Julia Masotta each assisted on both Norwich goals. Leidt and Hargrave scored the goals for the Midd Panthers.

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
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?

Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
Naza won’t beat Elmira in the conference championship. MIAC, who knows. A lot will/can change in the west. River Falls @ UW-Superior. Home and home River Falls and Eau Claire. It looks like 5 teams in the west will make the tournament. Will be interesting.

Norwich’s Amanda Conway moves into 3rd on all-time ncaa Division III goal scoring list with two more goals last night in a 9-1 win over Suffolk. She passed Tori Charron and now has 106 career goals in 104 games.

Doesn't William Smith currently win the tiebreaker with their head to head win over Elmira from earlier this season?
