Women's Team 2016-17

It's bittersweet to see our conference rival get their second NCAA (after just their first ECAC tourny title) while we sit with 4 ECAC titles. Still, today's upset speaks to the strength of our league.

I used to tease my friends at Clarkson for not even having a women's team when we were in school. Now they not only have a program, but two national titles. Every time I think of that, I'm transported right back to watching Cornell start the third OT of the 2010 NCAA Final in an Albany bar.

Seeing that game, and all the close chances Cornell and Minnesota had, I was thinking: Awesome if Cornell wins. If not, they'll be back in the title game soon. I knew not to think that the same month when Cornell made the Sweet Sixteen in basketball.

Still, this is good for the ECAC overall.

Unfortunate and surprising news that North Dakota is axing women's hockey and some other sports due to budgetary issues.
