I was perusing youtube today looking for a WTOP video and I came across this gem of a video series that is currently being produced about the Oswego State Lakers women’s hockey team. Senior goaltender and I believe communications major, Emi Williams, is the executive editor of the series that is going behind the scenes … Read more
To say that parity has swept the D-III women’s hockey world by storm is an understatement. After the first semester, three teams are left undefeated and then there is a pack of 10 or so teams that have all had impressive victories to date and can be considered contenders to make the NCAA Tournament. Just … Read more
And Then There Were Four. With Gustavus Adolphus, Trinity, and Wis.- Stevens Point all falling from the ranks of the unbeaten this week, only four now remain. RIT didn’t show any signs of complacency in its first week as the nation’s No. 1 team. The Tigers took care of Neumann 7-1 and 6-1 to improve … Read more

Lake Forest @ Wis. River Falls Meeting between last year’s NCHA regular season and tournament champion and a matchup of two undefeated teams. Even though Lake Forest will be without Kim Herring, I like a split between these two. Coach Zaban said it best that it will come down to which team has better defense … Read more
After the dust settles…Nothing was solved. So of course with how much I hyped the Manhattanville/Elmira series it would end with a split. For the most part, nothing was gained and nothing was lost by either team as they each claimed a one goal win over the other. Elmira’s Tori Charron has scored six of … Read more
Believe it or not, Gustavus Adolphus seemingly harmless 5-0 win over Concordia (Wis.) in the Gusties season opener was actually quite a significant accomplishment. Although Gustavus Adolphus has won at least 22 games in each of the last seven seasons, the Gusties haven’t won a season opener since beating Wis.- River Falls 3-1 on Nov. … Read more
If you read my blog post from Monday I posted my picks for last weekend in it and I started off the 2010-2011 season with a mediocre 4-3 record. I correctly predicted the Oswego/Adrian split.
