Yea, there is...the Union Pacific wailing in the QCO when UNO scores a goal AGAINST Lake State.

The Following games are at the end of one period of play

MANCHESTER,NH
Dartmouth College received a warm reception in nearby Manchester from their fans, Big Green Hockey provided them with good news and bad news. The Good News is that they allowed only five shots from Michigan Tech in the first period. The Bad News is that four of those five shots were goals. Michigan Tech looking for the upset leads Dartmouth 4-2. Brett Englehart has two goals, Chris Conner and Clay Wilson also added goals. Dartmouth countered with goals by Hugh Jessiman and Eric Przepiorkia.

BUFFALO,NY
Colgate leads Air Force 1-0 after one period. Steve Silverthorn made 15 saves while John Smyth hit home a rebound to end the scoreless deadlock.

DAYTON,NH
Brown leads Merrimack 2-1 after one period. The Bears got two quick strikes past Jim Healey. Cory Caouette and Scott Ford getting the goals there. Merrimack got one in late in the third period to deflate Brown's momentum without Tim Reidy's goal this period would have been all Brown's.

DENVER,CO
How's this for a shocker, the #16 seed Wisconsin-River Falls leads the not the #1 seed North Dakota but the #1 team in the country North Dakota 2-0!!!!! What happened?!? Sources say that North Dakota had an open audition for 12 Sioux fans to dress up and play the first few minutes. Unfortuneatly three of the fans dressed up with clothing that said North Dakota State on and there was chaos on the UND end and in the meantime. Aaron Degerness fired a 80 foot shot on a distracted Jordan Parise and a few minutes later, Steve Moe deflected a rebound off the skate of a fleeing NDSU fan. That's what we have thus far. 2-0 WI-River Falls.

These games are after two periods of play

MANCHESTER,NH
After two periods, Dartmouth has chipped away at the Michigan Tech lead, it is now 4-3 at the end of two periods. Sean Offers made a nifty backhand going top shelf to make it 4-3. Tech is looking to bring a slew of upsets that led to its Sweet 16 berth last year.

BUFFALO,NY
Colgate now in front of Air Force 3-0. It appeared as though the Falcons have run out of gas and Colgate is controlling play here. It is Air Force's problems getting the puck out of their zone that led to the Red Raiders two goals. Darryl McKinnon made it 2-0 and Jon Smyth added his second goal of the day just before the whistle blew. The Red Raider fans who made the short trip here are very happy with what they've seen so far

DAYTON,OH
Merrimack tied Brown early in the second period and we are tied at 2 after 2. The majority of the period has been the Jim Healey/Yann Danis show and both goalies have wowed the hockey fans of Dayton with their gloves.

DENVER,CO
What would be a monumental upset is a little less likely, after clowning around for the first period the Fighting Sioux have tied Wisconsin-River Falls at 2. The Sioux have been high-charging and took advantage of loose pucks, Zach Parise cut the lead in half and David Lundbohm tied the game for the Sioux. The North Dakota fans were expecting more but no such luck, anyway its 2-2 after 2.

[CommAvHusky]

These games have five minutes left in regulation

MANCHESTER,NH
Dartmouth has tied Michigan Tech at 4. The Big Green scored 23 seconds into the third period. Grant Lewis broke away on a shorthanded goal to tie the game. The Big Green putting lots of pressure, Tech is bending but not braking.

BUFFALO,NY
Colgate in complete command of Air Force, it is still 3-0 with the Red Raiders playing safe but Air Force is having problems getting an offense going. Admittedly some of the Red Raider faithful have been caught nodding off.

DAYTON,OH
Merrimack with a goal from Rob LaLonde rebound has given the Warriors a 3-2 lead over Brown. Brown has stepped up on the offense and putting MC on the defensive we shall see what happens here.

DENVER,CO
The miracle of miracles is still occuring in Denver, the game is tied at 3. Wisconsin-River Falls scored early in the third period courtesy of Tim Dwyer to take an early 3-2 lead. North Dakota could only manage one goal this period courtesy of a rebound and put in by Brandon Bochenski. All three Sioux goals have come off of rebounds. This should be an interesting finish.

[CommAvHusky]

These games are now finals

MANCHESTER,NH
DARTMOUTH 5 MICHIGAN TECH 4
The Big Green score with under two minutes to go, Nathan Szymanski's forechecking poked the puck free and got the open lane to send the Dartmouth faithful in a frenzy.

BUFFALO,NY
COLGATE 3 AIR FORCE 0
Steve Silverthorn becomes the second goalie to pitch a shutout in the Frozen 64. The Red Raiders move on to the second round as the ECAC is two for two today.

DAYTON,OH
MERRIMACK 3 BROWN 2
Merrimack was able to withstand some late Brown pressure to mark the first upset of the tournament. So much for 3 for 3 ECAC fans.

DENVER,CO
NORTH DAKOTA 4 WISCONSIN-RIVER FALLS 3
The miracle is over, a bad Panther penalty led to a power play goal from Matt Jones to give the Sioux the edge they needed to pull the victory. No super upset, but some 1 and 2 seeds should watch this game so that they don't sleepwalk against those hungry D-III teams.

If your reporter at this venue is who I think it is, you may want to double-check the scores before broadcasting them. :)

That works? Maybe I should get AddictionToHockey an Ellis bobblehead...

All scores are at the end of one period of play.

MANCHESTER,NH
Bentley and UNH are tied at 2. The Falcons have kept pace in a partisan-UNH arena. The Wildcats started early scoring in the first two minutes. Steve Saviano scored 20 seconds into UNH's first power play for the 1-0 lead. Bentley fired back when Paul Markarian hit a rebound past the legs of UNH goalie Mike Ayers to tie the game at 1. UNH came right back a minute later with Pat Foley taking advantage of a Bentley miscue to make it 2-1. Bentley stole a goal towards the end of the period. Kyle Larman hit a one-timer past the legs of Ayers and we have a 2-2 hockey game. Bentley, the 14 seed remembers that a there was a 14 seed in the second round last year and looks at that as motivation.

BUFFALO,NY
UMass leads UConn 1-0 after 1. This game has been very sloppy and the scoreless deadlock ended after a powerplay goal from Greg Mauldin. That's it so far, a great regional rivalry but the play hasn't met those expectations yet.

DAYTON,OH
Middlebury is stunning Michigan 2-1. Perhaps the Panthers saw their other D-III Panther brethen cause havoc and look to do the same. Ed Boudreau made it 1-0 Middlebury and Robert Chisholm scored a shorthanded goal to make it 2-0. An angry Red Berenson soon called time out. Angry and humiliated the Wolverines improved their play and got a goal minutes later. Brandon Kaleniecki added a short-handed goal of his own to make it 2-1, the momentum was a clear shift since Middlebury had a 5-3 power play.

DENVER,CO
The game with major interest is disappointing thus far. Alaska-Fairbanks leads Northeastern 3-1 after one period. The Nanooks scored early with a power play goal from Cory Rask. Oddly, Scott Selig who got the two minute interference penalty was not seen since. The Huskies did tie the game later in the period with a breakaway goal by Jason Guerriero. Ninety seconds later, unable to get the puck out of their zone, the Nanooks took advantage on a sweet-onetimer by Jordan Hendry. Another Huskies penalty by Jared Herriman led to a second power play goal for UAF, Ryan Lang is responsible for the goal to make it 3-1. When asked about the Huskies play, Coach Crowder responded by saying "they have two more goals than us, that's not good"

All scores are at the end of two periods of play

MANCHESTER,NH
In a surprisingly close one Bentley and UNH are tied at 3. Bentley had stunned the UNH faithful scoring in the middle of the period to take a 3-2 lead on a broken play, the puck went in off the skate of Brian Yandle, Joe Lovell got credit for the goal. UNH did everything in its power to find an equalizer but not until the final minutes of the second period where Yandle would avenge his mistake feeding Jacob Micflikier for a power play goal to tie things up. The Dartmouth fans still in attendance are cheering for Bentley louder than the Bentley fans. Large ridicule has been placed on UNH for the misspelling of signs made by several UNH fans, among them "Airs for Hobey"

BUFFALO,NY
Connecticut scored two early goals and have kept a 2-1 lead on Massachusetts after two periods. Both goals scored by Mark Murphy as he caught Thomas Pock off guard for the goals. The match is still messy but this has turned interesting as both Bentley and UConn are looking for big upsets today.

DAYTON,OH
It appears that Michigan has somewhat got their game back in gear and now lead Middlebury 5-3. Middlebury came in hot and caused lots of mischief for the Wolverines. The momentum finally turned when the Wolverines scored two goals in 24 seconds to take a 3-2 lead. Andrew Ebbets scored off a face off and Jeff Tambellini scored off a 3 on 1 breakaway. Middlebury came back to tie the game with a shot off the post that went in from Kevin Clark. Michigan would score two more goals towards the end of the period by Dwight Helminen and Nick Martens get their names on the scoresheet. It appears that this is becoming less of a scare but this is by no means over yet.

DENVER,CO
The Northeastern Huskies have tied Alaska-Fairbanks at 3. Jason Guerriero got his second goal of the game off a rebound from a hard Jon Awe shot. Guerriero was just short of a hat trick but fed Eric Ortlip with a beautiful shot to tie the game at 3. The Huskies looked much better in the second period and Keni Gibson has provided some beautiful saves on the high charging Nanooks.
