[hockey3435]

are we seeing a upset?

[quixote]

tied 3-3 in late third

[quixote]

Final 3-3. It was a really well played game. MC dominated in the third. Hit the crossbars at least twice in the last five minutes. Niagara played a tough game and Rutledge was outstanding.

They seem pumped. GO LAKERS !!!!!

Pumped?, perhaps, but more like nervous energy that will equate to "waxing" RMU,.....and it won't take long IMO,.....I guess the big question is have the Lakers drawn (WSU) the better team (matchup wise) for tomorrow's championship game,.....don't know, but the Warriors have to keep it VERY close the first 40 minutes to have a chance,.....

Anyone know the score / status in today's game? Also, anyone know if next weeks quarterfinal will be on the radio or internet streaming video next week? John Leisering has done a solid job in terms of written game recaps etc on the website but I really hope live streaming or even highlights of games make their way onto the site in the near future.

Until then, many thanks to MIC and those who update here.

GO LAKERS!!

There's definitely a possibility that USCHO will have streaming video of the Mercyhurst quarterfinal. USCHO had audio for the Wisco-Mercyhurst quarterfinal last year.
