The first meeting between these two despite it being so late in the season. 8:30 start time instead of the usual 7:00 for whatever reason. I'm actually glad I didn't get tickets for this game considering the late start.

The Teevee Network airing the game is having a doubleheader tonight. Maine-Providence started at 6pm.

Now that was a period of hockey. Dominated SOG, carried play, only goal was a shortie, which sucks, but shit happens.

I didn't see the third goal but the first one from Rauter's was a sweet little slide across the crease into the corner off of beautiful blueline-to-blueline pass from (I think) Kaldis and the second was a PPG after a minute of domination (half of which, to be fair, was 5x3) that Angello finished with a sniped short-side wrister off a pass from behind the cage from Kubiak. And even though I didn't see the goal, nice to see @washer_dwyer get his first goal of the year.

It's not on ILDN. Watching the TUFF TV stream.

Union's not an Ivy, so no ILDN.

At the time I was typing I didn't realize it was a road game.

Not a bad period but way too many penalties. Almost a full minute of 5x3 was too much and Vecchione banged one in with about 2 seconds left, leaving another 44 seconds of PK, which the team handled.

The biggest disappointment of the period was Starrett missing on the easiest lead pass he'll ever have, blowing a chance to give Angello a breakaway. And then he took the team's second dumb boarding penalty of the game.

Still, Gillam's looking solid and the team is mostly playing well. The broadcasters were talking about Union carrying play, but, come on they were on the PP the whole time.

if this team can stop with the dumb penalties they have a big up side.. when you add some marginal calls by the refs on top of the dumb ones it costs you goals and games.. 5x5 we were far the better team tonight and dartmouth as well.. 5x5 we allowed like 1 goal in three games.. thats enough to win with..

still left some goals out there with a bit better finishing.  

it helps when the guys who can snipe get the shots though..

 Angello needs to play at this level every game.

huge win

Now that was a period. The tying goal was a little fluky and a little weak but the Widener goal was a pretty short-angle shot that may have banked off of the goalie and the Angello goal was fucking awesome. Oh god I'll want to watch that one over and over again.

Huge win. This team needed a signature win and finally got one. Top five team on the road and to be honest we looked like the better team for most of the night.

The TUFFTV feed cut out at 11:00, when they switched to whatever was scheduled at that time. I wound up listening to the last few minutes, so didn't get to see the Weidner or Angello goals. Perhaps they'll be video posted somewhere.

just like harvard except we finished the game in the 3rd, great first  period both games.  ok 2nd periods but gave up a goal in this one and then PP and ST play failed us late 3 games in a row..  this time the fought threw it an won..

Cornell had 5 2nd period penalties, with the embellishment penalty being a BS call.

Union looked good in the second when they played nearly half the period up at least one man.
