For ECAC fans only

Re: For ECAC fans only

Let's not forget the fact that we're talking about a PS tournament here, and not a season's worth of data... Quinnipiac has already shown that it's the best team in the country on the basis of that much, no matter who wins tonight.
 
Re: For ECAC fans only

The Yale-Quinnipiac "rivalry", though in its infancy, reminds one of the the birth of the Hopkins-Loyola rivalry in lacrosse. Loyola, once an obscure commuter school in Baltimore, much like Quinnipiac in New Haven, had similar aspirations academically and athletically. Each succeeded in establishing national recognition. The new rivalry will eventually earn the respect of those still in denial or offended by the "new kid on the block." It is great for the game. Whatever the outcome this evening, one must, perhaps grudgingly, tip their hat to Quinnipiac. For hardened Elis the" I am all in favor of progess but can't stand change" attitude will be softened with a victory.
 
Re: For ECAC fans only

I know this thread is concentrating on tonight's game but look at the progress that the ECAC has made in the past three years.

The ECAC and the NCAA's

Year, #Teams, Teams, Combined Record, (number made it to the FF)

2011 2 ECAC teams made it, Union and Yale, combined record in NCAA 1-2, number in FF (0)
2012 2 ECAC teams made it, Union and Cornell, combined record in NCAA 3-2, number in FF (1)
2013 3 ECAC teams made it, Union and Yale and Quinnipiac, combined record in NCAA 8-2, number in FF (2)

Looks like progress .... :)

What about 2014 ? Any thoughts?
