Utica College 2017-2018 season

Fact: Utica and Neumann entered the ECAC West at the same time. Neumann was pathetic, and Utica was mediocre.

Records for the first 3 years of each team:

Utica 36 - 35 - 1
Neumann 6 - 66 - 2

Neuman's fourth season was also really bad, but how many ECACW conference titles did each of those two win?

Fact: I never claimed that Utica set the world on fire; I said they were a "factor"... And they were.

The KRACH was up today, and I noticed that it has UC at 7-2. Apparently the games v. Chatham, King's and Stevenson won't be counted in that context. Wonder if the selection committee will discount them too..?

Just a guess but I'm wondering if Chatham, Kings and Stevenson were left out of the database of NCAA D3 hockey teams?

I have no idea, but Chatham and King's can't help you, ratings-wise, especially if you lose to them... Stevenson, on the other hand, is looking like a decent team already.

UC lost a tough one tonight. Young with a bad turnover middle of 3rd that turned into the GWG was the difference. He was in for Carter who was suspended for the TBG 'fight', so it's really his fault. ;)
Virtanen solid as usual with 37 saves. No shame in this loss.

No shame in losing a tight road game at Adrian, but quality-win opportunities for UC are few and far between, and the only such opportunity that still exists is v. Oswego ...

(And Utica needs a quality win, because the UCHC isn't very good.)
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

Without knowing too much about the 18 and under team, I would think the 5-4 win was a pretty good win. These are the kids that will be playing D1 in a couple of years, they must be good. The U20 team has come in and beat Colgate pretty handily before. Just my occasional chime in here.
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

Shabby, if I'd predicted a UC win from this past weekend, it would have been at Adrian. The U-18 team is usually loaded with talent waaay superior to any D-3 team, and even a bunch of D-1 teams.

A win at Adrian would have been far more meaningful, though. :(

I agree with you, but to me, the fact that they beat that team makes them much more credible to me ! I actually was expecting a letdown after losing friday night in such a close manner.

UC stayed at #10 and Adrean jumped from #8 to #4 , or #5. How bout them pollsters, lol ?
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

We're thinking about going to Morrisville for the game tomorrow, weather permitting.

I looked at the Iceplex website; perhaps it's not the best place to watch a game? Any advice would be appreciated.

You've got to be kidding me right, sure it's no "AUD" but there's nothing wrong with watching a game there, you subject your self to worse going to Geneva.

Nice place. Good sightlines. The cow barn next to the rink brings a unique atmosphere to the area.
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

We puppied-out on the hour-long drive to Morrisville over (largely) back roads, due to the fairly dire post-game forecast. Had to watch the stats instead.

In any case, while this wasn't a great win, it would have been a bad loss. Props to our boys for taking care of business.
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

Glad they got an early start. Not a fun drive under ideal conditions, and the roads here are pretty slick...
 
Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season

Nice gut-check. UC looked constipated for half of the game, fell behind 3-1, then woke-up against a Potsdam team that is better than their record would indicate.

12-3, baby!
