| Kevin Sullivan: Two Goal Kinda Kid |
- With a thrilling playoff sweep of RPI at Messa Rink, the Dutchmen advance to the ECAC semifinals in Atlantic City. Union will be shooting for Boardwalk, not Baltic as they take on Colgate.
- Speaking of the Raiders, they defeated Quinnipiac on Sunday in the final game of the best-of-three. Chris Wagner potted two goals; Hobey Baker heavyweight Austin Smith scored his 36th. You read that right.
- The Union-Colgate bout will start at 4:30. Union, as the top seed, got to pick between then and a 7:00 start time.
- Union Athletics is offering ticket and transportation packages to New Jersey.
- Union is now 6th in the PWR rankings.
- After Harvard's 8-2 drubbing of Yale on Sunday, they will try to cash their chips against Cornell, which handily swept Dartmouth out of the playoffs. The Harvard-Cornell tilt promises to be a good one.
- With the matchups(#1 Union-#4 Colgate; #2 Cornell-#3 Harvard), this marks the first time since 2009 that the top four seeds advanced to the semifinals. Speaks to the parity of the league, no? Or perhaps its volatility...
- Union Head Coach Rick Bennett has been nominated for the ECAC Coach of the Year award along with Harvard's Ted Donato and Clarkson's Casey Jones (check your speed). Good luck to Coach Bennett. All three are deserving candidates.
- Union captain Nolan Julseth-White joined Bernie Corbett on his "This Week In ECAC Hockey" radio program prior to this weekend. A tangental association--Union's radio station, 89.7 WRUC (the first in the nation) has revamped its website. /End shameless plug.
- This is really fun (and informative). CHN gives you a fun tool to calculate who might be in the NCAA playoffs based on upcoming series. Have fun manipulating the brackets.
- In case you missed it (or want to relive the glory): here are some recaps from Saturday's 4-2 win over RPI--which, by the way marked Union's 5th win over RPI this year (5-0).
- Finally, our tweet of the day goes to Mat Bodie:
Great showing from the Messa faithful this weekend. See you guys in AC

- Honorable mention goes to Brian Yanovitch, who breathes a collective sigh of relief with most of the senior class:
