What would of thunk it?
The men's ice hockey team keeps on winning. The Lakers beat top-seeded and tournament favorite Army today 4-2 to advance to the conference finals to play Air Force. To be totally honest, I thought I'd be going home Friday night. But here we are looking at an AH Championship and third night in Rochester. By the way, I'm 4-0 as a hockey SID.
It's always exciting to be with a team that is doing well. MC was close to having a historic day to do. Not only is the hockey team making an unprecedented run (the lowest seeded team to reach the finals), but the women's team ALMOST advanced to the Frozen Four (but lost 5-4) and Hudson Harrison ALMOST became our first ever national champion in wrestling (lost 8-2 in the title bout). Still, I take my hat off to Hudson. He qualified for nationals four times but was never an All-American until this year and its his senior year. It's just too bad that he finished with 99 career wins. A win in the championship would have been his 100th. Still a great career.
Crazy day in sports and it was made only worse by a media member that really acted like a big jerk and all the Irish posers who swarmed the streets and our hotel for the parade today. It's insane what some people do for this "holiday." Totally insane.
Even though I didn't expect to still be in Rochester, I'm really excited for tomorrow's game. In three years as an SID, I saw the Ship field hockey team win a conference title, the men's basketball team lose in a heart breaker, missed out on last year's baseball team winning the PSAC and haven't really had a truly successful team yet at Mercyhurst. No matter how I'm affiliated with the team, it's always better to be a part of the team when it wins.
