Probably going to be a late arriving crowd on the 16th against Amherst. Pats drew the 4:35 game that Saturday.

I'll be heading up with a couple of other people but we'll probably arrive close to game time. It's the lone game of the weekend for both teams. Hopefully the Hawks can get back on track. They'll have their hands full with the Wildcat's top line.

Lowell Sun article: UNH's top line looms for Hawks

Dave and Jim pick UNH.
Massachusetts-Lowell at New Hampshire
Dave’s pick: The River Hawks have lost three of their last four, making it really tough to pick them against a surging UNH club. To my mind, this is the most difficult call of the weekend. By a whisker, I’m going with the Cats.
UNH 3, UML 2 (OT)
Jim’s pick: I haven’t picked against Lowell that often this season. But teams with a dominant line have given the River Hawks fits and that’s exactly what UNH has.
UNH 4, UML 3

Awfully quiet in here given there was a dozen posts after that Robert Morris loss. :D

That was a nice bounce back win. I still wish this team would score more, but I can't be disappointed with Lowell shutting out a good offensive team like UNH on their ice.

A nice job by the Hawks. They got the job done, two big points.
 
Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

Yes with a 3 gaa since thanksgiving im very glad to hear they got their defensive house in order against a high scoring team.
 
Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread

Lowell's problem is that they have 3 bad losses in the PWR, while at the same time only having 1 win against the 13 teams ahead of them. The later will correct itself when PC, BU and BC finally arrive on the schedule. The former poses a bigger problem.

Lowell absolutely cannot afford any more bad loses this season. They have to take care of Amherst, NU, Arizona State and AIC. Loses to any of those teams (without balancing it out by practically running the table against the remaining ranked teams) and an at-large bid won't be possible.

The story of last season. Those UCONN losses are going to come back and bite them big time unless they do as Patronick notes.

PWR tends to not weight bad losses too much... its more that our schedule strength stinks.

Not sure why we talk about PWR so much anymore. It's basically RPI as a deciding factor unless you have H2H matchups. So the question should be how much those losses hurt in the RPI. SOS is such a big part of it, but the difficult homestretch games should help.
