Re: Dartmouth women's ice hockey, 2010-2011
I am content with my team.
They were ranked eighth, of twelve teams in the preseason rankings in their league-the ECAC. Their motto, goal, thus, perhaps became... for the season, to "surprise".
A few teams, a few people.
It remains their goal until they win the National Championship, are barred from further play...
From Jan. 15 forward, when their record was 9 and 8, they roused themselves, I think; defeated an undefeated (ECAC, Ivy) Cornell (at home, Dave) 4-2 and defeated Harvard (OnMAA- 'one of the Bay State Ivy's', is Harvard...), their arch rival in my opinion, 4-1 (at Harvard) while also/and along the way, succeeded in defeating a rising Clarkson women's effort, with an eye on the Ring, in OT, after trailing going into the last minute of the rubber match down a player and down a goal.
Grit?
They matched up and closed the regular season in the third slot.
Their record going into the NCAA tourney, should the fickle finger of fate so deem it, is 22-11-0.
Two days later (after their visit to the Hub) we need their appearance in Central New York to face the Big Red IN ITHACA who has safely, to their credit, idled nightly down to Lynah- an easy amble from the dorm, where they could in their own house look to dismantle visiting upstate by bus successive other tourney entries.
Not too shabby an assignment in front of a largely hometown throng.
I guess, I am "content" as our/these women rose and met what they saw as their challenge. Isn't this closest to the NCAA's goal as to building character through participation in sport?
I think so.
Bravo (and Thanks!), Dartmouth and Coach H. and his fab staff and all associated with the 2011 Big Green Women's Ice Hockey Team!

, you have to respect where Coach Hudak has brought this team and how the girls have carried themselves and played!
