Women 2024-25

[RichH]

Up 1-0 after the first. Seems the giveaway worked, most full B + C I have EVER seen at a women's game. And pep band is playing almost all intermissions!

4-0. Delicious goals. Timeout near the end of the 2nd. Crowd is PUMPING.

Watching the 3rd, and this team looks FANTASTIC. I expected a small step backwards after losing the Patty Kaz winner to graduation. They've already beaten their 2024 specter in Colgate and are now punishing the #7 ranked St. Lawrence 5-0.

Amazing weekend with SLU and Clarkson coming to CNY, you've got four top-10 teams going at it.

They're so fucking good man. Was yapping with the guys behind me and even they were like yeah, the women are good, the guys, not so much LOL.

The fans sounded great. This team deserves bigger crowds, and it looks like word is spreading.

Watching the last 2:00 of Clarkson-Colgate. I think I heard Clarkson has close to 60 shots.

I've never seen Colgate team wear blue before.  Edit: Colgate ties it with 10 seconds left.

B and C were pretty full and roaring. The giveaway almost certainly helped (free t-shirt, yay) but VERY few Lynah Unfaithful today. If anything, MORE people came in after the first period, as opposed to leaving.

I would NOT have guessed SLU is ranked 7. Really?? We made them look like scrubs tonight.

[Weder]

lol why did they pull the goalie.

That was nuts

The only thing I can think of: Is goal differential some fourth or fifth tiebreaker for playoff seeding, maybe?

[Weder]

It's not an exact parallel by any means but this team sorta reminds me of that first team to make the Frozen Four — the season Rebecca Johnston was with Team Canada. There was no dominant player but a ton of really good players and scoring contributions from all up and down the lineup.

Can't say I'm familiar, but it definitely feels like, while we might not have any Daniel-level stars, everyone pulls their weight. To make a bad parallel, the Kraken in the 22-23 playoffs seemed similar - no "star power" but INCREDIBLY deep.

lol why did they pull the goalie.

Practice the move during a live fire exercise, it may come in handy in the final stretch.

St. Lawrence is still third in the ECACs. It is nowhere near as bad as the score. It may well keep a top four spot although the difference between a 3- and 4-seed does not protect you from a dominant 1-seed, which way well be Cornell and Colgate, and they're evenly matched.

In the ECAC standings, Clarkson screwed us over by allowing Colgate to tie a 1-0 game with 9 seconds to play then won in OT. Had the Tarnished Knights held on, Cornell would have a a 2-1/2 point lead over Colgate rather than the 1/2 point lead. We still have a tough Clarkson team tonight (and Colgate a hopefully rebounding St. Lawrence). Then we and Colgate have the same four to play, all toward the lower end of the ECAC: RPI, Union, Brown, Yale. One slip by either team may be enough to decide who wins the ECAC RS title and also being able to host the ECAC final two rounds.
We split the regular season with Colgate, winning 2-1 then losing 4-2 (ENG).

Think those are outdated tiebreakers since they don't take shootout wins into account.

Seems like the high attendance yesterday was a one-off, sadly. 3 PM start doesn't help either, though. Weder or anyone else, if you're at Lynah give me a shout and I'll wander over during an intermission

Sadly I don't live in Ithaca but it is always tempting to go up for the weekend. In part years attendance has picked up for the last few home games and home playoff games, so hopefully that continues next year. The record I think is something around 3000? Can't remember if it was for a RS or playoff game, but it was maybe a decade or so ago.

Wow... Hoping we smash that!

Down 0-1 at the end of the first. 2-on-1 that led to a goal.

[Al DeFlorio]

1-1 early 3rs on Guilday ppg.

The ppg was in the 2nd. Now we're playing the special teams game, it seems. At least the women have a functional pp.

2-1!

Right.  Score early in 3rd was 1-1 when I had to leave.
