  • DIII game notes

    Still waiting for the NESCAC season to begin, and anxious to see some DIII women's hockey action, took a run over to Newport to watch Norwich visit Salve Regina for the Cadets NEHC season opener.
    Salve Regina plays home at the St. Georges School Howard Rink which may explain some to the 76 shots the Cadets put on beleaguered Seahawk goalie O'Connell, as the ice sheet is not a large one.
    Neither team came out crisp and it took some stellar goal play to keep either squad from scoring. O'Connell was repeatedly tested in close on open odd man rushes. Norwich goalie Robert made a nice stop on Seahawk captain Cronin at 8:07 of the 1st. O'Connell withstood a Cadet charge in the final minute of the period and stoned Cadet Hulst point blank one timer at the stickside of her crease with :20 to go.
    The Cadets broke through midway in the 2nd, scoring 3 times. In transition on the powerplay, Labbe entered the zone down left wing, dropped a pass to Conway and she followed her shot for the rebound which was in to O'Connell's stickside. The play came moments after Robert had trouble coming half way to the red line out of net to clear a puck. Schwenzfeier extended the lead cashing in on a 3x1 Cadet rush (Tiberi feeds ahead to Rossini down right wing and into Schwenzfeier scoring up to O'Connell's gloveside). Cadet Odbratt made it 3-0, coming off the Norwich bench, picking a Seahawk pocket and drilling an open look forehand inside the far, gloveside post. O'Connell faced a mere 35 shots for the period (32/35 .914% not bad for a period)!
    The 3rd featured 4 penalties on each squad and the period had little flow. Labbe scored unassisted with a nifty move, picking up a loose puck in center ice and walking into the zone, cutting left on her forehand, scoring on a laser up gloveside from low in the left wing circle. Odbratt notched her second of the game breaking in on left wing and dropping the puck for Conway; her shot was saved by O'Connell, but Odbratt had circled the net, got the rebound on her forehand and drilled it home.
    Salve Regina falls to 0-3 and entertain Castleton this afternoon. The Spartans fell to Manhattanville 3-2 yesterday. Norwich has travelled on down I-95 to the Ice Casino and face the Valiants in an early season test of potential NEHC contenders.

    Correction: Manhattanville actually beat Castleton, 3-2, Friday night.

        Well, your analyses are usually spot-on. Maybe a mulligan on that last tidbit. Anyway, I think St. A's is a team upon which to reflect. They're big, strong, and smart and play with a LOT of heart.

            A little concerned that they've been playing with an incomplete fourth line for both games. Hopefully Millen and Fadel make it back to the lineup, or they can find some other players to come in during the semester break if they don't. Last time they regularly had incomplete lines was the season before they won 3 straight championships.

              Anyone at Buffalo State or watching online this weekend?! 2 wins against a nationally ranked Utica! Granted they had home ice advantage but wondering what the play looked like. Shots were close 21-17 in favor of Utica Friday and 25-28 Saturday in favor of Buffalo.
              Both teams scored 1 PPG each on Friday and none on saturday.
              Thoughts?!

                I only saw the first period of Friday's game. Buffalo looked a little faster while Utica looked a little bigger. Play was fairly even.

                    I've seen nothing about it. Where'd you hear that?

                          unfortunately you're right. there is no head coach listed on their website. this will hurt a strong program....

                            There had better be a darn good reason to bail on a team at this point.

                              Heard she didn't get her first choice of assistant when that hire was made. Could that have been enough to make her look elsewhere?
