As might be expected, both schools were looking to come out with a better effort this time, and both came out of the gate strong. The first period saw both teams controlling stretches of play and generating chances. Augsburg had chances on the power play in the first half of ...

With a 4-1-1 (4-5-1 overall) record in their last six games, all in conference play, Air Force finds itself sitting alone on top of the Atlantic Hockey Association, one point ahead of RIT . Behind an outstanding effort on special teams and a great performance ...

The dynamic duo did make the score sheet — Conacher assisted on Scarsella's first-period goal, marking the sixth time in seven games that one has assisted on the other's goal — but the junior forward also notched the game-winning penalty shot in the waning minutes of the third period to lead Canisius College ...

The RedHawks parlayed tight checking, smothering defense, solid goaltending and timely scoring to dominate Michigan, 5-1, and sweep their weekend series with the Wolverines. By taking the two-game set, Miami handed the Michigan their first home two-game ...

"Since being swept at the Kohl Center in 1999-2000, Minnesota has lost the opening game of its series at Wisconsin four times. The Gophers have managed three wins and a tie in the Saturday games to avoid the sweep." It could easily be considered a beacon of hope, seeing as the Gophers ...

Union was also looking for its first victory in the ECAC after tying Brown the night before. Neither team was able to get the win, as the game ended in a tie. The first period was a back and forth, tightly fought contest. For the ...

"Evan's played that way all the way through since day one of training camp," said Sioux coach Dave Hakstol. "He's really taken his game to the next ...

Saturday's game had very little resemblance to the 1-0 tilt that the Wildcats won on Friday night. Ohio State inserted Cal Heeter in net, who has started all of the Buckeyes' Saturday ...

Sacred Heart found themselves up early in the first period when Patrick Knowlton netted his second goal of the season. Matt Gingera was ...

"[Assistant Coach] Mike Germain said it was in," RIT coach Wayne Wilson said. "I don't know what they were arguing about, whether it was kicked in or the net came off before it went in. I'll have to watch the tape." The play ...

Bowling Green (0-3-1-1 CCHA) started the game looking slow after facing 11 power plays in the Friday night opener, but they still netted the game's first goal. ...

Quinnipiac scored three of their goals on the power play and killed off 11-of-12 penalties. "We have a lot of work to do on our power play," said St. Lawrence coach Joe Marsh. "Give them a lot ...

Neither team came out victorious though as the game ended in a 3-3 tie. Even though each team came out of the game with one point in the standings, they each see the point differently. Brown head coach Brendan Whittet took a more optimistic tack. “To come in here and take ...

Alex Bogosian and Jared Keller each tallied a goal and an assist, and Alex Petizian made 32 saves as St. Lawrence (5-2-1, 1-0-0 ECAC) remained unbeaten ...

Juniors Wahsontiio Stacey and Justin Milo scored goals for the Catamounts, along with ...

Not only do the teams share the Falcons nickname, but they also scored the same number of goals Friday night skating to a 3-3 tie. Air Force came out flying, tallying a goal just 1:12 into the game. After winning a faceoff back to the defense, a Mark Williams shot glanced off the post. ...

It’s rare for a team to have a 28-to-13 shot disadvantage and still manage a two goal margin of victory. Equally rare was the multi-goal margin for Miami, who had their last five contests ... Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:29:47 -0600 http://www.uscho.com/recaps/20092010/m/11/06/umn-uw.php MADISON, Wis. — Senior tri-captain Blake Geoffrion was a first-hand witness to how a quick goal off the opening face-off can dramatically affect the final 59 minutes of a Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry game. After former Gopher Ryan Stoa scored six seconds into a game last October, killing the Kohl Center’s momentum in a 5-2 Gopher romp, Geoffrion made sure it was Wisconsin’s turn to deliver ...

Boston College's three power-play goals in the first period had salted away a lopsided win in what had originally promised to be a NESN marquee matchup. But a funny thing happened on the way to a blowout. New Hampshire rallied from a 4-1 third period deficit to send the game into overtime on a Bobby Butler goal with 53 seconds remaining ...

The Huskies (1-6 overall, 1-3 in Atlantic Hockey) had several chances early, highlighted ...

Fortunately, the Sioux notched a power-play goal a period against the Michigan Tech Huskies at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena and skated away with the 4-2 win. “Every two points [in the WCHA] is hard fought,” said Fighting Sioux head coach Dave Hakstol. “Some ...

That pattern continued at the Buffalo State Ice Arena on Friday. Another pattern is Fredonia winning the majority of those games, losing only once. That streak too was not interrupted as the Blue Devils came out on top, 4-2. "Our guys put together a pretty solid 60 minutes," ...

UW coach Mike Eaves talked Friday night about needing to score more goals than they had in previous Saturday games, and the Badgers did just that, posting three goals in each of the second and third periods. "I think ...

"That's four games in a row where we've had a chance to win all of them," Chargers' coach Danton Cole said, "but we haven't figured out a way to get over the hump just yet. Our margin of error isn't very big right now. We can't just rely on 'Talbie' (Cameron ...

His reasoning: they play like a top line. Each member of the Jeff Velleca, Stephane Da Costa, and Brandon Brodhag line had a goal and an assist as the Warriors beat the Boston College Eagles 5-3 on Sunday. Merrimack ...

The No. 12 Mavericks faced most of the tricks played against them Friday night into Saturday morning, after the CCHA announced that Bowling Green's controversial shootout win on Friday would stand. UNO turned ...

Tonight, the River Hawks did the equivalent of covering Agganis Arena in toilet paper, beating the host Terriers 3-2 in front of a crowd of 4,792. Ben Holmstrom led the way with a goal and an assist for the victors, who also received ...

Longpre set a Robert Morris record for goals in a game and led the way in an 8-5 victory over the No. 18 Quinnipiac Bobcats in one of the most bizarre contests in recent memory at the Island Sports ...

That pushed Saturday night's non-conference college men's hockey game to a lengthy two hours and 30 minutes. It was frightening on Halloween at the DECC. Yet four power-play goals allowed Minnesota-Duluth to complete a sweep of Clarkson University of Potsdam, N.Y., with a 4-2 victory ...

Last night's game went 4-3 in the RedHawks favor; tonight's was similar, but with tighter defense. The first period resembled a tennis match, but Northern Michigan won the first set. When Miami took an interference call, the Wildcats used ...

"It's an important point for us," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "There's always that tendency to press too hard and try to get that extra point.

In a very entertaining game, both teams held leads in the third period, but each rallied back to force the overtime tie. The Crusaders got on the board ...

Well, one way is to pitch a shutout in the first home game of the season. In just his second collegiate start, Ben Meisner turned aside all 30 of Holy Cross's shots in leading American International College to a 3-0 win at the Olympia Ice Center in West Springfield, Mass., on Friday night. ...

UW went 3-4-1 in the non-conference slate late season, including a humbling 5-1 defeat at New Hampshire that broke its post-season hopes. So far in this campaign, Wisconsin is skating on the right foot. Related ... Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:32:59 -0600
