Amanda Mazzotta - Awesome Goalie

[Towerroad]

I was going to go to the Harvard game but family obligations got in the way. Next year for sure. If you play into the second overtime period then the teams are even in my book and it is just the bounce of the puck. We had our chances and they had theirs and in the end theirs went past he goalie first. No disrespect implied to UMD they won fair and square.

Plus we were a split second from the player coming out of the box stealing the puck and having a pretty good breakaway.  Hockey, like football, can be a game of inches.

A truly amazing game and an amazing group of ladies.  I split screened the women's game and the men's basketball.  I just couldn't miss the end of one or the start of the other!

A couple inches here, a first down there against Dartmouth, and we would've been 3-7 rather than 2-8.

Yale makes that 2 point conversion and we could have been 1-9, too.

We have a football team now?  Is that why the turf for our graduation had those lines and numbers all over the place?

Why yes. In fact we even have two football teams. :-P

Well, if you mean even in goals I'd agree, but UMD was much stronger in at least the last half of the second OT and the third. That might have been because of our short bench, but they certainly seemed to have more gas than us. We couldn't even shoot the puck out of the zone on that PK. I was cheering crazily, but UMD deserved to win. Now when we get more bodies, let's go at it again. Our individual talent was certainly equal.

Thanks.  Dunno why it needs to work that way, but now I know, at least.

That makes no sense. You must mean "meterball".

I agree it makes no sense.  Use your hands!

I agree that the Red looked "gassed" by the middle of the second and had individually played more hockey than UMD. Still they had their chances in the 3rd.

Hopefully this performance can be a building block in the recruiting program. Given that there are fewer professional opportunities among women hockey players the lure of an ivy education might figure more prominently in the decisions of prospective players if it also includes the opportunity to play for an elite hockey program
