Lighting The Lamp: Streaks Snapped

Hahhhhhvahd 4, Union 1: Union had a 10 game unbeaten streak this year in ECAC Hockey, and before last night was the only team to have not lost a conference game. Ryan Carroll almost singlehandedly stopped that, stopping 47 of Union’s 48 shots. Jason Walters had the lone Union goal

Cornell 1, North Dakota 0: The Sioux had gone unbeaten in 6 nonconference games this year, but again a herculean effort by a goaltender ended that. Ben Scrivens had 28 saves for the Big Red as he moved into 2nd place on Cornell’s all time shutouts list. Worth noting: although he only made 14 saves, Aaron Dell looked pretty good in net.

St. Cloud State 4, Minnesota 3: In what has grown into one of the better WCHA rivalries, the Huskies got the leg up in round one. 7 different players scored in this game, and Ryan Lasch, Jacob Cepis and Aaron Ness were the only multiple point getters.

Yale 3, Clarkson 2: Broc Little had a goal and an assist as with the win Yale moved into a 2nd place tie with Cornell. It is looking exceedingly likely that for the 2nd year in a row, ECAC Hockey will get 3 NCAA teams.

UNH 3, Providence 2: The Huskies, with a three point lead over BC and game in hand, have a big lead in Hockey East thanks to Paul Thompson, Mike Boresinok and Phil DeSimone.

RIT 5, AIC 3: RIT is tied with Air Force in Atlantic Hockey, but has an incredible 4 games in hand. Cameron Burt and Tyler Brenner each had 2 goals, while Adam Pleskach had two for AIC.

Sacred Heart 4, Canisius 2: Break up Sacred Heart. They started out 3-10-2, but since then have rattled off an 8 game unbeaten streak, with 7 of those being wins. They also have the longest unbeaten streak in the country.

Michigan 2, Ferris State 0: Luke Glendening had 2 second period goals and Bryan Hogan stopped all 22 Bulldog shots to get Michigan into a 6th place tie in the CCHA. They now have the 3rd longest unbeaten streak in the country. Dean Lombardi was not impressed.
