That's the spot. upper right choice for men or women. Usually bottom of the page has conferences and teams by class but women on the fritz this year although men still working. Now for women just choose college up top and you'll see everyone by class. A lot of top D talent to go with the forwards...
We scored first, something we rarely do. It makes a big difference. Gritty win against a stingy team. SLU goalie is also very tough. Not sorry to see Clarkson's reign end, not one bit! Goodbye, Gugiere! What a thorn!
Score first and stay out of the box, a good recipe for a TITLE!
What is up with the damn Pairwise?
Go 'Gate!

ECAC Title Day is here! Good luck, Colgate!
’Gate 10-1-1 when scoring first
’Gate 4-5 when not scoring first; also their record over last 9 games
’Gate 9-0 when leading after 2
Saints on 4 game win streak vs a common nemesis, Clarkson!
And all that means nothing bc it’s playoff hockey lol!

3-2 win means something!
Great game which showed the strengths of this team. Relentless offensive pressure and grit and the ability for many players to score. One big boo boo but heh, we're not perfect. Now on to play UMD who lost big to OSU yesterday but is very, very solid. One of few teams to beat Wisc this year.
Interesting factoid, the Bulldogs are coached by Maura Crowell, Colgate hockey player and Class of 2001 alum. A former Harvard Asst coach she's now also USA Hockey's head coach for U18 women. You think she knows some of our players?

ECAC Champions, Congrats to ‘Gate! Could not be happier for them. A bittersweet season with only 4 league teams playing. IMO the league was very competitive and their records are not necessarily indicative of that.
Was wondering if Sammy’s last goal deflected off a skate...
‘Gate came out a little flat; poor defense, couldn’t pass or clear the zone or get any shots! Glad they got their mojo! Osborne played a much better game. Credit to SLU, a team that consistently gets outshot yet finds ways to win or keep it close.
Colgate still struggles scoring 5x5. That ppg was a lifesaver. Serdachny without a point, hope she turns that back around!
A lot of slack about our league and repetitive schedule and teams like PSU getting bumped from the tournament, but their conference was weak and it’s all about strength of schedule IMO. Clarkson has been a national contender for the last 5-7 years; tell me you want to play them 10x!!!

Can't agree on SOS. Compare MN & UMD on SOS; see if your opinion changes.
From the outside looking in, it appears that PSU was penalized as you suggest, yet UMD got a free pass on this factor. The inconsistency is very unfortunate.
Congrats on your playoff title, of course. But I have to point out that it's the playoff title that got you into the NCAA tournament. Perhaps respect for ECAC strength gave Colgate its #4 seed. But otherwise I don't see it.
Disagree; Colgate has been #1/2 PWR all year, ranked #5/6 all year. They would have received an at-large over Providence IMO. I think you’re underestimating the records of the other 3 ECAC teams. Had you seen them play against each other as often as I have, the talent is there. Hard to speculate.
Definitely directed off skate but not kicked.
Clarkson is a very good team. Any team with 2 Patty Kaz nominations - Giguere and Lonergan - is good. Plus David. Why they faltered at the end, I don't know, but you can't tell me that team isn't better than Providence and probably UMD.
Looks like we're talking past each other. Probably because my initial post was written in a desperate rush, before leaving for work.
My point is that the Committee was very inconsistent with how they made use of SOS, if they made use of it all. And I still doubt that the Committee awarded bids for teams on the bubble on that basis.
I expect that Colgate will pass the eye test very nicely at the tournament. I've seen the Red Raiders in person fairly recently. When 'gate visited Columbus, it was a fun series with a high quality opponent. And a well earned split by both teams.
I can also agree that Colgate should have been selected over Providence, had it come to that. I didn't mean to insult Colgate; I meant to express puzzlement with the Committee's criteria, and application of same. By winning the autobid, Colgate simply avoided the SOS controversy. (except perhaps for seeding) That's a good thing; an accomplishment.
All that said, do you still believe that SOS is the one variable that explains the at-large selections? This year's UMD team selected over Minnesota on that basis? Seriously?
Was not offended, pgb-ohio. Glad to have you share your opinion and I apologize as well if I sounded rude. Colgate alum/posters are the best there are.
And yes, I think SOS and record against ranked opponents is likely most important. I feel confident saying this is what happened to Penn State; a victim of an unfortunate, weak conference and no ranked opponents. Something else to consider is HTH, where #6UMD lost twice to Minnesota. Stunned that it didn't sway the selection committee, which really seems unjustified.
Good article on Minn/UMD and selection criteria, puts it in better perspective for me. The last sentence really says it all...and so does the one comment lol:

Still cannot stand this site...
No mention of the ECAC Champions on the Women's front page, but 4-5 articles on Wisconsin and Ohio State. Um, not cool.
Am thinking the PWR became defunct just weeks before the playoffs b/c it would have limited the Committee's preferences of at-large bids!
