Colgate's next opponent... Northern Michigan (January 7-8).
I took in Mercyhurst at Miami on Tuesday night in Oxford, Ohio. Both teams played poorly, but it was an oddly intriguing game. Miami was up 4-2 with three minutes to play, and lost 5-4 in 3-on-3 OT. Shades of Washington, D.C.’s Frozen Four.
Tonight I am in Green Bay, Wisc., with just three more hours of driving the VW Jetta rental before I arrive in Marquette, Mich., for a Friday Fish Fry and Colgate hockey.
