UMD 3 - UM 2 in 3 on 3 OT.
Elmes scores the winner on an innocent looking deflection about 10 feet out off a soft (not sure if that was a pass or a shot) from inside the blue line.
Anti-climactic winner.
'Dogs 3 - Digger 4 final.
Exciting but disappointing ending.
Diggers pulled ahead 3-2 late in the 3rd with one from Rogue in close, that Rooney absolutely should have had since there was almost nowhere for the puck to go, and it was looking like it was slipping away from UMD.
Then, immediately after a UMD time out, with 2:38 left Klein in close from Brodt lifted it over Campbell's shoulder 3 hole to tie it up. Nice goal.
Then with 1:15 left Mauerman with a beautiful wrist shot from the high inside edge of the face off circle bags the winner. Despite how nice that shot was it was from sufficiently far enough out that Rooney should have had it.
Good quick game after the 'Dogs woke up after the first couple minutes of the game...lots of flow...not many whistles.
The story of this game for the 'Dogs was Rooney's less than stellar play. She looked shaky at times and slow early like her head just wasn't in the game. That seemed to improve deeper into the first and the second. But at least 2 of the goals that she allowed were head shakers. UMD had an excellent chance to win this game and of all players to have leas than her normal/usual game it was the one that mattered most. Normal/usual would have done it.
'Dogs 2 - Diggers 5 final.
Diggers with 2 empty netters in the last minute of play just before which Houston stuffed a pass just inside the UW blue line and turned it into a breakaway. She had Campbell beat for the tying goal with barely 2 minutes left in regulation time but hit the post.
Just not enough stretches of puck possession time in the UW end...actually, no stretches in this game. Tough to win that way but they came close again. Turning into the close but no cigar 'Dogs. (But I can take solace in T3's comment in the scores thread re: the BU victories over BU. Haha).
Rogge was conspicuous by her absence this weekend...wonder what the story is?

Rogge tore ligaments in her knee over the summer and is out for the season
