Women 2024-25

[BearLover]

So wait, seeds 6 and 11 play at Lynah, and then Cornell plays the winner a couple days later (also at Lynah)? Or do the first three games for the teams without byes happen next weekend at the higher seeds' rink (eg. 6 hosts 11), and Cornell is off next weekend?

Here's an explanation of the tournament structure.

Thank you. Seems like getting a top 3 seed was nice.

Top 5: get a bye (huge upside)
Top 4: get to host quarterfinals (big upside)
Top 3: get to play against a team that had to play two(?) days prior, as opposed to 4 and 5 having to play each other (medium upside), and get to avoid Wisconsin until the final (small upside)

Committee swapped St. Lawrence with Boston U. (from a strictly pairwise-based seeding), surprisingly, but Cornell still slated to take on the winner of UMD-Sacred Heart

why did the ncaa bracket shows 13-16 and then all the games are 13 and 15th?

surprised they didnt spread this out a bit for coverage

Wanted to give a shoutout to the folks doing the team's social media the past few seasons -- the videos and photos they've been getting from around the rink and on the ice really add a ton.

+1, it really has been great.

Having all 4 women's semis on at the same time does not help with building the game?  that's a strange schedule

And it's a real bummer that our Regional finals game is at 4. Ending after 6 means you can't get to Colgate for the faceoff.

And that probably means reduced turnout for both.

If the men win on Friday, do I watch all of the women's on Sat, then leave for Colgate?

If the men lose on Friday, do I watch the women and leave in time to catch the men's start?

Decisions, decisions!

How much easier it might be if the women started at 3 or earlier. Then I could get to both.

Heaven knows in the men's NCAAs there are some different start times, arranged so that most games can be watched on TV.

its a big bball weekend.

I would think the women's games are being streamed so TV time isn't an issue

I see mention of ESPN+ for Semi/finals but nothing on the first weekend in the PR.

I posted similar thoughts in another thread.

I wonder if we could lobby Cornell to lobby the NCAA to start the women's game at 3:00 instead of at 4:00, to accommodate fans that want to see both in person.

no travel issues either. The teams are already in town.

Thanks for the shout - got both games. I'll give general updates on MinnD/SHU but I'll probably mostly watch that for the joy of puck. In my Cornell jersey, of course.

You're sick. In a good way.

i have to ask, since i think you said you are from europe, which country sparked the joy of hockey (since i always mentally default to continental europe when i hear that but should probably be thinking scandanavia/eastern).

I mean, I have a mixer at the law school from 4 to 6, if I come with my Lynah bag and put my jersey in it and I dip at like, 5:45... perfect night

My mom's side of the family is entirely Polish, which is... probably the one country in eastern Europe that's bad at hockey. LOL. My dad's side is American though.
