RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Maybe another European that wants to get a lot of work? It didn't hurt Selander with Selander playing in the 4 Nations Cup. Kids usually follow an example. Picking a school for goalie is counterintuitive, you don't necessarily want to only get 18 shots a game.

I think it's more like she's excited to play D2.5 hockey at RPI. Don't think they've improved enough yet to be called D1. ;) (Sorry I know it's a bad joke but I couldn't help myself on that one)

What was #4 for Q'pac thinking?! Watch the decision she makes in the neutral zone to cut across and chase the puck instead of just holding her ground and skating backwards. She overcomitted and gave up a 2 on 1 against her D partner which resulted in the GWG for RPI. OMG! What an error! Kudos to Orosz and her teammates for capitalizing on the blatant mistake to earn the W!

If we are D2.5, what does that make QU? :p
 
Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Winning: it'll cure what ails you. Honestly I can't really explain the huge swing in our probabilities since RPI, Quinnipiac, and Yale (non-league) all earned splits. I guess Brown losing to Providence and Harvard going 0-1-1 didn't help their ratings, but this still seems like an unexpected bump. Anyway, I know the Clarkson/SLU games aren't for ages, but I'm going to do the conditional things now. Since we're such big underdogs in those games, only getting swept would really hurt our chances. That said, there's like a 45% chance we get swept soooo........

Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Both Elite Prospects https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/630764/nyle-boyce and Neutral Zone (paysite) show Nyle Boyce, a defenseman for the Selects Academy 19U team, as committed for next fall.


Edit: Selects Academy also mentions it https://www.selectshockey.com/tag/girls-selects-hockey/
Last week, six Girls Selects players announced commitments to Division-I programs including four from our Selects Academy at Bishop Kearney. Bella Vasseur (‘05 ECS, University of Wisconsin) and Molly Jordan (‘05 ECS, Boston College) along with current Selects Academy players Laila Edwards (University of Wisconsin), Nyle Boyce (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), Ellie Zweber (Cornell University) and Maddy Coene (Providence College) will all look to continue their careers at the collegiate level.

Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

New in the directory

Julia Blitz
Psychological Science

Madisen Peterson
Psychological Science

Taylor Zahirnyi
Business and Management


These three are added to MaryJane Alexander and Emily King. Nyle Boyce, Sarah Bukvic, Teeghan Dalby, Hannah Price, and Amanda Rampado are missing among the supposed 2019 recruits,
 
Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Particularly happy to see Blitz appear in the directory. She was recruited way back in Nov/16 (John Burke's last year) and has been on the radar for some time as a promising prospect. A forward with good size (5'8", 155) she is the leading scorer this year for the Washington Pride of the JWHL with 37 goals and 18 assists in 43 games.

Rampado is another key recruit as a replacement for Selander, so hopefully her name will appear soon.
