You can just imagine the sigh of relief by Syracuse fans, the exaltation of Celeste and the lamenting of Looney all at the same time after that result.
 
RIT ends up beating Lindenwood 6-4 and moving on to face Syracuse tomorrow in the first CHA semifinal game. Lindenwood led the shots on goal 34-24, and RIT took 4 penalties to Lindenwood's 1. There were 7 goals in the third period...crazy stuff.
 
Strange that Looney didn’t pull goalie with roughly 2.5 minutes left while on pp and the momentum somewhat in their favour with some comeback goals occurring.
 
It's CHA tournament semifinals day, with Syracuse vs RIT at 12:00 (Eastern), and Penn State vs Mercyhurst at 4:00 (Eastern). The games are being streamed on Stretch Internet at $12 per game, or $25 for a full tournament pass which includes tomorrow's CHA championship game at 2:00 (Eastern):

RIT went on a scoring blitz in the third period of their CHA quarterfinal game against Lindenwood yesterday, something they haven't done all season, and Lindenwood started to answer back, but ran out of time. It was a crazy third period, and a highlight game of RIT's season, for sure, but it set them up to face a very rested Syracuse today at noon. I would love to see RIT beat Syracuse today, and Penn State beat Mercyhurst, setting up a faceoff between Celeste Brown and former boss Jeff Kampersal tomorrow for the CHA title. It's one and done...you never know.
 
I don't think the set up game is there for RIT as Coe let in four goals. If she had won 1-0 2-1, then there would be the hope that she was in a zone and might steal one.

As far as PSU, Nystrom will surely get the start and she had a good year. PSU will have its work cut out for it. I will be interested to see if Sisti plays PSU straight up or has different lines doing different things.
 
At the end of one, it's Syracuse up 1-0 on RIT in the first CHA semifinal game. Shots on goal are 18-2 for Syracuse, but RIT's Sarah Coe is having another good game in net and keeping RIT in it.
 
After two periods, it's tied up 1-1 in Syracuse. Syracuse leads the shots on goal by 31-7, and they've taken four penalties to RIT's two. RIT's goalie (Sarah Coe) is really keeping this one tight, because Syracuse just looks so much faster than RIT, but RIT is staying in it.
 
Unbelievable...this one is going to 3-on-3 OT tied 2-2. Syracuse leads the shots on goal by a whopping 45-10 and RIT still managed to end regulation in a tie.
 
Syracuse takes it 3-2 in OT to head into the CHA championship tomorrow. RIT's Sarah Coe made 52 stops today, and honestly had the winning goal going into her glove cleanly and it just flicked out and into the net. RIT has a good one in her, for sure. Great showing from RIT in this game and yesterday, too.
 
After one, it's Mercyhurst up 1-0 on a fluky deflection off a skate, but whatever...it counts. Penn State leads the shots on goal 12-6, and there were no penalties in the period. Neither team is dominating this very quick game so far, and there's nothing glaringly wrong from either side, so it's good hockey so far.
 
After two, it's tied 2-2 against Mercyhurst, on goals from Amy Dobson and Olivia Wallin. Penn State leads the shots on goal by 31-16, and there are still no penalties (that were called...plenty could have been). Penn State really turned it up in the second period, and Mercyhurst didn't tie it up until under a minute to go on a 2 on 1. Penn State looks really fast today, and passes are moving forward, finally, instead of ping-ponging in the defensive zone.
 
5:36 left in the game and Mercyhurst is up 4-2 on a really bad idea from Josie Bothun coming way out of her net to try a clearing pass. Even the announcers are wondering how Penn State isn't up by a couple goals right now.
