Great game, Great Series. Way to go Tigers!

“Great goaltending again tonight, but it was a gutty effort all around," said RIT head coach Wayne Wilson. "Killing off the five-minute major was huge for us, and to come away with four huge road points will help pay dividends down the road."
Point of clarification: it's not the first time they've ever swept Air Force - I know the Frozen Four team swept them when they clinched the conference against them in overtime on a Friday night, then proceeded to completely smother them in a 3-0 win on Saturday night. I'm pretty sure the other RIT team to win an NCAA tournament game also swept Air Force out of the Polisseni during the AHA playoffs. Hmm. I like that pattern.
I think he meant to say it was the first time RIT swept Air Force at Air Force. I don't know that for sure, but I could buy it. They've almost never even earned points in a Friday night (Thursday in this case) tilt out in Colorado Springs before.
Was anyone else having problems with score updates last night? Both this page's scoreboard and the CHN app were stuck at 5:25 of the second period from that point until the end of the game (and I never got a final score alert from the CHN app). I had to follow the Men's Hockey Twitter feed to get updates.
Everybody’s live scores and stats all come via collegehockeystats.net and they distribute the updates. That site receives XML files uploaded from the statistics software at each arena. There were a lot of network issues at the arena both nights.

Drackett comes up big for Tigers
It’s not often a team comes away with four points after getting outshot by a combined total of 80-22, but that’s what happened for RIT last week, thanks to goalie Logan Drackett.
The sophomore made 43 saves Thursday in a 2-1 win at Air Force, and then had a shutout with 36 saves on Friday. It was the first time the Tigers’ Division I history that the team had swept a series at Air Force.
“Great goaltending, but it was a gutty effort all around,” RIT coach Wayne Wilson said following Friday’s game. “To come away with four huge road points will help pay dividends down the road.”
