The Piper hockey team ended up losing to #1 St. Norbert last night, 4-0. It was a great run for them, definitely a tough wsy to lose, hopefully their success this year will continue for the next couple of years to push them closer to the Frozen Four.
St. Thomas extended their season last night with a convincing win at Augustana in the Elite 8. The Tommies beat UW-Stevens Point the night before with a game winner by, you guessed it, Tyler Nicolai. I didn't think they could get by the Pointers (terrible nickname in the WIAC, not quite like their neighboring state) but they certainly have a bunch of gritty veteran guys that know how to win.
Now, the MIAC will have at least two representatives down in Salem, VA. Carl Hipp and St. Thomas.
Also, a big congrats to the Williams Ephs for their second consecutive Final Four. They are coached by Mike Maker who I worked with at West Virginia. They open up with with Wooster out of Ohio while St. Thomas takes on Middlebury. Both Williams and Middlebury play in the NESCAC.
