Re: '18-'19 NESCAC season
Originally posted by shelfit View PostYa, so we never referred to any of our teammates as "first years" when I was a player. That level of political correctness drives me nuts. We rarely referred to anyone as a freshman either but definitely used that term much more often. We mostly used the terms rookies and veterans or returners.
have not U heard....they are now "Freshmores"....and [unfortunately for PC challenged] I'm NOT kidding

Re: '18-'19 NESCAC season
Amherst (2-4-1, 1-2-1 NESCAC) resumes action Saturday and Sunday, hosting undefeated William Smith (10-0, 8-0 UCHC).
Amherst coming back after losses to Elmira and Oswego at Orr and an inconsistent weekend against Trinity.
Hope to be in Orr at least Saturday!

Re: '18-'19 NESCAC season
Appear to have overlooked Lake Forest's foray to the East.
The Foresters (6-3-2, 5-1-2 NCHA) visit Colby (3-2-2, 2-2 NESCAC) on Sunday, then slide south into Watson, as Bowdoin (0-7-1, 0-2 NESCAC) looks to escape an unimaginable (remember those 'dreams in black and white') 0/9 start to the season.

Re: '18-'19 NESCAC season
12 regular season conference games remain to be played in sorting out this year's NESCAC. Heading up to Kenyon to watch another round of Amherst-Middlebury Friday and Saturday (before slipping across the App Gap to Northfield for the East/West!).
This weekend:
Hamilton is the winner of the Delta Hotels Burlington Ice Hockey Classic at St. Michaels, besting Buffalo State and Southern Maine
Williams takes down the Polar Bears
Colby sweeps Wesleyan at home.
Middlebury takes 3 points.
Conn and Trinity split their series in Hartford.
I, as a longtime observer of NESCAC play, realize the odds of the above predictions coming true approach zero, because NESCAC conference play never makes sense to anyone (but the Goal Gods).
Good Luck to all coaches, players and parents for a successful season.

Re: '18-'19 NESCAC season
Amherst and Middlebury traded powerplay goals as goalies Walker for Amherst and Han for Middlebury were both stellar in turning aside the other 51 shots, resulting in Middlebury (4-1-3, 3-0-2 NESCAC) and Amherst (4-4-2, 1-2-2 NESCAC) skating to a 1-1 draw.
Amherst clearly benefited from the 2 games they played last weekend and had territorial advantage early in the contest. Midd had an early chance at 2:40 of the 1st when Keating moved across the slot and flipped a backhand off the top of the cage from low in the right circle. Mammoth goalie Walker made a nice right pad stop on Liedt's try from in close gloveside at 14:30. Amherst cashed in their 2nd powerplay of the contest. Swarming low in the right corner Hoang and Wiater dug the puck to Hunyadi on the right boards. Hunyadi skated out up along the wall, curled onto her forehand above the top of the right circle and slung a long wrist shot, up off the ice and in off the far post on Han's stickside.
Early in the 2nd Middlebury's powerplay goal came with seconds on the penalty and was more a goal in transition than a powerplay set piece. Portner fed Zumwinkle in center ice in front of the Middlebury bench and Zumwinkle entered the zone on the right and launched a rocket of a slap shot; Walker parried the drive with her right pad, but Hargrave snared the long rebound around the left dot and quickly put a forehand in high over Walker's stickside.
The 2nd featured uneven flow with refs Rapin and Cross whistling 5 penalties in a minute and four seconds and fans witnessed some 3x3 play.
Middlebury had shaken off the rust and dominated the 3rd, outshooting the Mammoths 14-4 for the period, but goaltender Walker was equal to the challenge. Late in the frame, at 16:56, Amherst forced Han to cover in the crease after DelRosso threaded a shot through traffic.
Overtime failed to produce a score and 1-1 was the final.
Rematch tomorrow at 3.
