GO CROSS!

Opponent records when HC played them: Sacred Heart (A) was 0-3-0 - Score 3-1 Sacred Heart (H) was 0-4-0 - Score 3-2 Plymouth State (A) was 0-2-1 - Score 5-3 St Michael's (A) was 0-4-0 - Score 3-1 New England College (H) was 1-4-0 - Score 10-1 OK, that isn't the strongest part of the schedule, but 5-0 is still something to appreciate.

Thanks, RGS. Hopefully we will hear some D-1 landing-spot news soon.

Thanks, RGS. Hopefully we will hear some D-1 landing-spot news soon. They are seeking a new "home" which I believe has to be D-1. It is overdue, but will be appreciated when we finally get where this team belongs.

Marcia LaPlante has turned out to be quite a find ! she walks on to the field hockey team and leads the nation in save % and now plays the sport she was recruited for 'ice' hockey and has a .978 save after 2 games (joining the team late because of field hockey). she might make this program's transition to D.1 a little easier.

The women take their 12-2 record and 4 game win streak into the weekend. They play at Castleton tonight in VT and then come home to play St. Michael's tomorrow. Castleton is 4-8-1 and on a three game losing streak. St Michael's Purple Knights are 0-12 so we don't need to talk about any streaks. GO CROSS (and find a new league soon!)

The women are now 14-2. On Friday they beat Castleton 4-0. Then on Saturday, they came back in the third period after trailing 0-1. They had 3 goals and picked up a 3-1 win over St Michael's.
On Friday and Saturday they play The University of New England (H) at 2:05 on Friday and at Franklin Pierce at 12:30 on Saturday.

Schedule next year upgrades with schools like Maine, UNH and Dartmouth as they transition to DI. Will be good for HC to make the move.

From USCHO:
Six schools announced Tuesday the creation of a scheduling alliance for their women’s hockey programs, beginning with the 2017-18 school year.
Division I institutions Holy Cross and Sacred Heart will join Division II members Franklin Pierce, Post, St. Anselm and St. Michael’s to account for 20 of its contests next season, as all schools will meet four times during the regular season.
“We are excited about next year’s alliance, as it will provide our student-athletes with a highly competitive schedule against well-respected teams and familiar rivals,” said SMC coach Chris Donovan in a statement.
The six will also participate in a postseason tournament while student-athletes will be able to earn weekly honors throughout the season.
“With the announcement of this alliance, our program begins an exciting step forward in our young history,” Post coach Heath Isaacson added. “The 20-game schedule next season will allow us to challenge ourselves against well-established programs, along with playing for a year-end championship.”
The alliance will also sponsor a postseason tournament for all six institutions, with seeding based on regular-season standings. The league’s tournament will take place the week of Feb. 19 and will crown a champion on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2018.
A final and official 2017-18 schedule will be published at a later date once all games are solidified.

This might be a temporary parking spot until whenever men's side of the equation gets squared away.

This might be a temporary parking spot until whenever men's side of the equation gets squared away. I think you hit the nail on the head, CTP. ADNP wants both programs in the same league and is showing patience. Raher than simply have all independent games for a season, I believe this stop-gap is a win/win for all of the teams involved.

Or, it may signal bigger problems w/ the Hockey East bid.

the only problem is the caliber of competition for next season. these teams are worse than the d.3 competition we have this year. post and st mike's have not won a game yet this season. better get this d.1 league affiliation done quickly because we wont be able to recruit with this alliance.

Short term solution to get games and gives the team something to compete for. An independent schedule would have been difficult, potentially unwieldy with little opportunity at some kind of championship experience. This provides it. Makes sense.

Will scholarships be a part of the transition to D-1? Are there any in place now for the women?
