Union College Dutchwomen 2013-2014

Re: Union College Dutchwomen 2013-2014

I've been primarily going on season performance regarding Union's lack of success because I have only seen then play twice in the last 2 years and don't consider that a big enough sample size. But I will say that in those two games i observed the following:

- Team played OK until they gave up the first goal and then seemed to cave and gave up 1 or 2 more quick ones. Speaks to the team's belief in themselves and character - just didn't seem to think that they could win after being scored on.
- Defensive zone play was at best confusing. I've coached and played a fair amount of hockey over the years and I honestly could not figure out what they were trying to do. I do know that they had enormous trouble getting the puck above the faceoff dots on the breakout without turning it over and that the defensemen seemed unsure where they were going a lot of the time.

Does anyone know will Union stream the Providence Games this coming weekend? I can't tell anything from the schedule?

Dunno...try the ECAC website. If there is a video stream, you'll be able to find it there.

Edit add: ....Link to ECAC Schedule: http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2013-14/schedule

No video listed at this point, but that could change as game day nears.

Yes, go to link below. I think the cost is about $8 a game, used to have a better deal for multiple games with a month membership but not offered anymore. Quality is typically not great; a single camera, no replays or announcing, etc. though was slightly better last year (at least the camera can zoom now).

Re: Union College Dutchwomen 2013-2014

So Union actually won a real live D1 game this weekend and no Union supporter thought that was worthy of a post??!! I mean, I know it was UConn, but still you don't get that many wins!

Good to see Union get the season off to a positive start, and I do think they will be better this year....but....keep in mind that they started last year with a win against the same team.

Re: Union College Dutchwomen 2013-2014

I did put something on the blog, though I wasn't at UConn for the game.

How's Providence supposed to be this year? They're coming to Messa for two this weekend.
 
Re: Union College Dutchwomen 2013-2014

Should be a great series! There is info on the Providence Friar thread.

They return 81% of points from last year when they were 9th in the nation in scoring. Defense is the area of opportunity as they finished 30th on D.

Forwards - PC has very good size and scoring balance and a number of returning double digit point scorers plus two incoming Carels and Weber who looked very good against McGill. Has ability to roll 4 lines.

Returning 9
Haley Frade, JR, 35 games, 31 TP, 13 G 18 A, +6, 5-10 PIM
Molly Illikainen, SO, 34 games, 30 TP, 12 G 18 A, 0, 9-18 PIM
Corinne Buie, SR, 34 games, 26 TP, 15 G 11 A, -3, 7-14 PIM
Brooke Simpson, JR, 35 games, 26 TP, 7 G 19 A, -7, 4-8 PIM
Beth Hanrahan, JR, 35 games, 20 TP, 14 G 6 A, -4, 8-16 PIM
Allison Micheletti, JR, 35 games, 10 TP, 3 G 7 A, -1, 1-2 PIM
Courtney Kukowski, SO, 35 games, 7 TP, 4 G 3 A, +1, 3-6 PIM
Brittney Thunstrom, SO, 33 games, 5 TP, 0 G 5 A, 0, 6-12 PIM

Additions 2
Cassidy Carels, FR, Pembina Valley/Canada U18 Bruxelles, MB
Janine Weber, PG, Vienna Sabres/Austrian National Team, Innsbruck, Austria

Defense - They return 5 D who played bulk of the time last year. They are good defenders and get into the offense zone play. They have added 4 freshman so good depth.

Defense - Returning 6
Rebecca Morse, SR, 31 games, 21 TP, 5 G 16 A, +1, 13-37 PIM
Maggie Pendleton, SR, 35 games, 19 TP, 3 G 16 A, +3, 10-20 PIM

Lexi Romanchuk, SO, 35 games, 9 TP, 3 G 6 A, +1, 9-18
Victoria Virtue, JR, 24 games, 8 TP, 2 G 6 A, -4, 9-18 PIM
Suzie Lundeen, JR, 31 games, 2 TP, 0 G 2 A, -2, 3-6 PIM

Arianna Reid, FR, Lakeville South, Lakeville, MN (her HS Coach was hockey legend Natalie Darwitz)
