NCRHA Championships, Day Four

[RichardGraham]

Hi Folks,

As round robin-play has moved into elimination brackets, all but two recent games in Division I have been close. I'll try to have an update with all divisions soon, but at the moment, I'm scurrying back and forth between rinks to watch current Division I elimination games between UMSL and Long Beach State, and Lindenwood and Rhode Island.

Please see the following links for current scores:

Hi Folks,

The number of teams still alive in Division I is now down to four after Buffalo defeated Central Florida, 6-2; Arizona State held on to defeat Michigan State, 5-4; Lindenwood crushed Rhode Island, 9-1; and UMSL, held off Long Beach State, 4-0.

That makes the following match ups for tonight:

2008 NCRHA champion Lindenwood against 2009 champion UMSL at 6:30 p.m., and Buffalo against Arizona State at 7:45 p.m.
