Wow. What a game.

SNC wins 5-2. But it was much closer than that.

SNC controlled the first period, and led 2-0 after one. AC had a stretch of controlling play but really never had good chances offensively.

On a PP that carried over from the first, SNC scored early in the second to make it 3-0. But Augsburg came storming back. A bad defenseive breakdown by SNC led to the first AC goal, and a juicy rebound given up by Black led to the second. Auggies had a chance to tie it but Black turned away a breakaway. Huge play. SNC led 3-2 after 2.

Third period was just great hockey by both teams. Good chances, good plays, good defense, good saves. Then, AC passed it from the the edge of the faceoff dot, and another AC player hit it with his stick behind his own goalie. Oh my. An own goal that was the backbreaker. SNC added an ENG for the final score.

So, on St. Patrick's Day, the GREEN KNIGHTS advanced to the Final Four. But helluva game by Augsburg. This was no gimme and was closer than the score might indicate at first glance.
