Women's Team 2016-17

[upprdeck]

now we are talking a completely different kind of hit..

with that video you can see why the ref ruled it a minor from the other angle.

and that looks like a blow to the head from this angle.

[billhoward]

That video raises an interesting question, I think.

What video does the league use when reviewing these kinds of plays? Do they use any video available, including people's individual videos that may be posted online, or are they limited to some set of "official" videos.

There should be an overhead replay camera. That, too, would pick up the momentum leading up to the check/hit.

[upprdeck]

i think the overhead is probably the one that actually shows if there was head contact

Down 1-0 halfway through 2nd period, but not looking very good for the Big Red. We're getting pinned in our own zone often; defensemen getting caught on some long shifts, and loose pucks out in front of Voorheis often. Without the speed of O'Neill, it's hard to generate decent scoring opportunities. It also seems like we're saving our energy for the third period with very conservative tactics.

And the Clarkson goal coming on a power play after a dumb, unnecessary elbowing penalty.

Now a fifth straight penalty called on Cornell with 3:28 left in the second.

Still down 1-0 heading into the third period, I think it's been a fairly successful game thus far. It's always seemed that in order to beat Clarkson this year, especially without O'Neill, we've gotta just hang tough and give ourselves a chance to steal it at the end.

Tough playing a good team with only 5 defenders.

Tough playing a good team with only 5 defenders.

And without your leading goal scorer.

We didn't get the bounces tonight, and the refs didn't do us any favors either. Clarkson capitalizes on a 3-on-2 with under 2' left to likely seal the deal. Felt like a sucker punch but it was very well executed. Stop the presses! EAG for Cornell , 2-1 with a minute to go

[ugarte]

Good pressure in the last five but not a lot on net and then they gave up a 3 on 2 and a goal with just under two minutes left.

Cornell popped one in almost immediately after, but the ENG by Clarkson to make it 3-1 should end this one.

[imafrshmn]

And Clarkson promptly puts in the empty netter. Oof. Valiant efforts all around for the Big Red.

[imafrshmn]

As close as we came in this match, we still overachieved to get to this position. Derraugh's post-game conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0jBxQ7o9fk

I can't believe it's time to say goodbye to seniors Hanna Bunton, Paula Voorheis, Kaitlin Doering, and Sydney Smith. They go out as Ivy League Champs, which is nothing to sneeze at in women's hockey. So very proud of the seniors and all the rest of these women all season long. I'll be looking forward to an even more competitive squad in 2017-18.

Clarkson women win their second NCAA title. Beating UW 3-0.

[imafrshmn]

Tremendous upset victory for Clarkson. Wisconsin's superiority this year was based on fast pace of play, puck possession, high shot count, and good goaltending. We knew their weakness was that their scoring chances were often low quality, but we didn't have the depth to deal with their pace in our two game series with the Badgers. I didn't have a chance to watch the championship, but it seems like Clarkson was able to limit high quality chances for Wisc while burying their own. Not sure how luck and reffing factored in. 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.
