USCHO.com Division III<\/a> poll of the calendar year.<\/p>\nAugsburg, currently sixth in the MIAC, was shut out in their road trip to UW-Eau Claire and River Falls, losing each contest by a score of 3-0. Both games featured an empty-net goal. Andrew Kent started in goal each night and made an impressive 79 total saves (four goals against) on the weekend. Bethel was on the other (bad) half of the Blugolds\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 sweep, losing 3-1 on Saturday. Aaron Damjanovich made 28 saves for Bethel and Jake Kogler put up the only tally for the Royals. Despite having eight power plays, neither team could convert with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
In addition, two MIAC teams faced off in a non-conference series as St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s swept the Concordia Cobbers by scores of 8-3 and 3-2. The Johnnies out-shot the Cobbers 74-50 on the weekend, with Vince Wheeler getting both starts in net. Despite freshman Steele DeFazio getting nearly half of the playing time in conference games this season, St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coach Doug Schueller stood by Wheeler as his top goaltending option.<\/p>\n
Even with the recent victories, it hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been the season that many were expecting for St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, a fact Schueller is keenly aware of.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the start we were hoping for,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Schueller said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think we were in pretty much all those games — we lost quite a few one-goal hockey games. It got frustrating. We had a couple leads going into the third period and gave up those leads.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Schueller believes his team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lackluster performance in the Friday game against St. Thomas propelled the squad towards the Saturday tie, and in turn, that momentum carried into the Concordia series. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153[The final three games] brought some life back into our hockey team and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re feeling good about ourselves. We feel confident now that we can hold leads going into the third period and that we can win hockey games.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Clearing the Hurdles<\/h4>\n
Just six games took place involving MIAC teams last weekend and the conference struggled, going just 1-3-0 in the non-conference slate. The MIAC has struggled in games against the NCHA this season, posting a collective record of 10-26-1. The league actually finds itself in the same situation as another conference, the ECAC East, with an interlocking schedule. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s line the two conferences up side-by-side and see how they compare halfway through the season.<\/p>\n
Both the MIAC and ECAC East are below .500 in their Interlock play. For the MIAC, that means a 10-26-1<\/b> record against the NCHA, while the ECAC-East is 9-15-3<\/b> against the NESCAC. But both teams also play a significant number of games against a weaker league in their region that helps to offset the previous results. This is represented in a 7-0-1<\/b> record against the MCHA for the MIAC and an impressive 13-0-1<\/b> record against the ECAC Northeast for the ECAC East. Each league plays scarce other non-conference games, with the MIAC posting a 0-2-0<\/b> mark — a result of St. Thomas’ trip to the Primelink Shootout — and the ECAC-East a record of 2-2-1<\/b> in its various other non-conference action.<\/p>\n
Nationally, the conferences are receiving the same level of recognition as well. In the latest USCHO poll, each league had one representative in the top 15. For the MIAC, the 9-2-0 Hamline Pipers landed at No. 10 while the ECAC East\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Norwich, 3-2-0 on the season, is No. 12. In the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153others receiving votes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d category, two MIAC teams — Gustavus Adolphus, 9, and St. Olaf, 1 — and New England College (2) from the ECAC East were represented.<\/p>\n
What does it all mean? As much as fans from the New England area and the western region may be unfamiliar with teams from the other side of the Division-III hockey landscape, these numbers give a strong indication that there may be some similarities, even from hundreds of miles away. <\/p>\n
More importantly: what do these numbers mean come tournament time? That largely depends on the context, i.e. how do you compare the other conferences (NCHA\/NESCAC and MCHA\/ECAC Northeast)? With little data to go on in the regards, it will be a debate that is sure to reign in the coming months. <\/p>\n
And it also makes the case for more interregional games. Such games give teams an opportunity to face new opponents, and for at least one team to have the bonding experience of a long road trip. The fans get to see something new as well, and those of us who follow Division III hockey closely get to see how various teams and leagues stack up. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great situation for all involved and it would be great to see the NCAA attempt to encourage such meetings on the ice.<\/p>\n
National Standing<\/h4>\n
As MIAC teams reach the halfway point of the season, standings both in the conference and nationally begin to take shape. Every team has their eyes on the prize of winning the MIAC championship and securing the automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament that accompanies it. But are any teams from the MIAC positioned to be in the discussion for Pool C\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at-large bids? Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a look at each team, from most likely to least likely at this point to secure an at-large bid.<\/p>\n
Hamline Pipers<\/b><\/p>\n
In-region record: <\/b> 9-2-0
\nWins against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Stout
\nLosses against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Superior, St. Scholastica
\nLosses against worse than .500 teams: <\/b>None
\nUpcoming games against teams .500 or better: <\/b>Eau Claire, Stevens Point, St. Olaf (twice), Bethel (twice), St. Thomas (twice), Gustavus Adolphus (twice)<\/p>\n
Were it not for Pipers coach Scott Bell experimenting in the weekend series against Superior and St. Scholastica, the Pipers could be looking at an 11-0 record. The overtime loss to Superior is likely not of great concern, since the Yellowjackets will probably be the top overall seed in the West (this assessment, like all other made in the segment, assumes things stay somewhat similar to their current state). Much more concerning is the loss to St. Scholastica, a team that will likely be in the Pool C chase as well. The first series back from break will also go a long way towards determining Hamline\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chances for an at-large bid as the Pipers take on Eau Claire and Stevens Point. Then they begin their stretch in which they play the top four teams in the MIAC. It won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be an easy road, but if the Pipers can limit the blemishes (and bumps and bruises), they have a strong case for Pool C consideration.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C bid: <\/b> 45% (sweeping Eau Claire and Stevens Point), 25% (swept by Eau Claire and Stevens Point)<\/p>\n
St. Olaf Oles<\/b><\/p>\n
In-region record: 7-2-1<\/b>
\nWins against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Gustavus Adolphus (twice)
\nLosses against .500 or better teams: <\/b> St. Norbert, Stout
\nLosses against worse than .500 teams: <\/b> None (tie at Concordia [MN])
\nUpcoming games against teams .500 or better: <\/b>Eau Claire, Stevens Point, Bethel (three times), St. Scholastica, Superior, Hamline (twice), St. Thomas (twice)<\/p>\n
Like Hamline, the Oles\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 record has been built largely without playing teams that have had success this season. And also like the Pipers, the Oles will have a significant stretch of games that will determine if they are a contender beyond the MIAC. The Oles return from break early to travel to Eau Claire and Stevens Point January 2 and 3, play a Wednesday game against Bethel, and then host the only teams to have beaten the Pipers, St. Scholastica and Superior. Coming away with fewer than three wins in that stretch will make it very difficult for the Oles to be in a discussion for an at-large bid. The losses against Stout and St. Norbert already put St. Olaf in a less than favorable position in the western hierarchy; it will take several wins to improve their resume to give the Oles a chance to not require the MIAC automatic qualifier.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C bid: <\/b>15% (three or more wins in first two weeks back from break), 5% (two or fewer wins)<\/p>\n
Gustavus Adolphus Gusties<\/b><\/p>\n
In-region record: 7-4-0<\/b>
\nWins against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Stout, Bethel, Stevens Point
\nLosses against .500 or better teams: <\/b>St. Norbert, St. Olaf (twice), Bethel
\nLosses against worse than .500 teams: <\/b> None
\nUpcoming games against teams .500 or better: <\/b>Elmira, Neumann\/Norwich, Superior, St. Scholastica, St. Thomas (twice), Hamline (twice)<\/p>\n
The Gusties\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 5-1 start looked promising for their Pool C chances, but recent results show how quickly fortunes can change in a 25 game season. A pair of losses to St. Olaf will likely keep Gustavus below the Oles in western rankings, barring a dramatic change of fortune for the Oles. The Gusties will head to Northfield, Vermont for the Times-Argus Invitational to play 2 of the three eastern teams listed above. The downside to this is that even a strong showing of two wins would not be reflected in the western region rankings. The next series of games at home against St. Scholastica and Superior have a much higher threshold for determining the Gusties\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Pool C fate. Given their likely position behind St. Olaf in line, it does not bode well for Gustavus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Pool C chances.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C bid: <\/b>10% (spit or better against Superior and St. Scholastica), 3% (otherwise)<\/p>\n
St. Thomas Tommies<\/b><\/p>\n
In-region record: <\/b>4-2-2
\nWins against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Superior (tie against Scholastica)
\nLosses against .500 or better teams: <\/b>Eau Claire, Stevens Point, Middlebury, Plattsburgh
\nLosses against worse than .500 teams: <\/b>None (tie against St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s)
\nUpcoming games against teams .500 or better: <\/b>St. Norbert, Gustavus Adolphus (twice), Hamline (twice), St. Olaf (twice), Bethel (twice)<\/p>\n
The Tommies are the rare benefactor of the regional segregation, as their two losses against eastern teams at the Primelink Shootout will not directly factor into the western regional rankings. That being said, the Tommies are still a long shot for an at-large birth. With no wins against middle-of-the-pack NCHA teams, even the victory against Superior will likely not be enough to move St. Thomas up the rankings. Victories over River Falls and St. Norbert after returning from break would likely do more to bring down those teams\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 profiles than to launch St. Thomas into Pool C contention. The good news for the Tommies? They trail MIAC-leading St. Olaf by merely four points in the league standings, having played two fewer games. As always, the Tommies will be one of the favorites for the automatic qualifier.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C bid:<\/b> 2%<\/p>\n
Bethel Royals<\/b><\/p>\n
In-region record: <\/b>6-6-1
\nWins against .500 or better teams: <\/b> Gustavus Adolphus, Marian
\nLosses against .500 or better teams: <\/b> Gustavus Adolphus, Eau Claire (tie against Marian)
\nLosses against worse than .500 teams: <\/b>Augsburg (twice), Superior River Falls
\nUpcoming games against teams .500 or better: <\/b> Eau Claire, St. Olaf (three times), Hamline (twice), St. Thomas (twice)<\/p>\n
The news isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t good for a rebuilding Bethel program. Every win against a solid team is met with a loss or tie to the same team. The Royals are also 0-3 against the NCHA, likely dropping them down in head-to-head and common opponents criteria. Nor does it get much better, as the Royals have no further games against NCHA opponents. It would take nothing short of the Royals running the table to get them into serious Pool C consideration.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C: <\/b>1%<\/p>\n
Other MIAC teams<\/b><\/p>\n
None of Augsburg, St. Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Concordia, or St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s have more than three victories on the season, and all have seven or more losses on the year. With six losses generally the threshold, even a complete turnaround by one of the teams might not be enough to get them serious consideration. These teams are now focused on making their way into the MIAC playoffs and attempting to gain access through the league\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s automatic qualifier.<\/p>\n
Chance of Pool C: <\/b>Less than 1%<\/p>\n
Adrian Bulldogs<\/b><\/p>\n
With apologies to MCHA scribe Matthew Webb, Adrian warrants a mention in this space for the unique reason that on January 4 they will play their only non-conference in-region game at St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. This is undoubtedly not the match-up Bulldogs coach Ron Fogharty envisioned when he scheduled the Johnnies in the offseason. While St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s may have turned a corner by going 2-0-1 in their last three, a win in January will likely not be the signature win the Bulldogs need to merit Pool C consideration. Of course, St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coach Doug Schueller views the match-up as a matter of pride for the conference.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whenever we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re playing out of conference, we want the MIAC to do well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Schueller said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153With Adrian coming in here, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big pride thing for us to step out and represent our league. And I know when any MIAC team is playing out of conference, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a huge objective for us — to try and represent our league to the best of our abilities\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
But the fact that Adrian will be the favorite on the road doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deter the St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coach. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good chance for us to make a statement against a nationally ranked team. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re excited about the opportunity. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be interesting to see how our guys come back from break. We have three days to prepare and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get after it hard there, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be challenged by a pretty good team on the fourth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Any chance the Bulldogs have of reaching the tournament this season could be derailed with a loss to an improving Johnnies squad.<\/p>\n
Re-seeding the MIAC<\/h4>\n
Halfway through the season we have some idea of how the MIAC will shake out over the second half of the season. Given the opportunity, here is how I would re-order my preseason predictions:<\/p>\n
1 Hamline
\n2 St. Thomas
\n3 St. Olaf
\n4 Gustavus Adolphus
\n5 Bethel
\n6 Augsburg
\n7 St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\n8 St. Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\n9 Concordia<\/p>\n
The Pipers and Tommies have each played two fewer in-conference games than the Oles, leading me to believe they will leapfrog the current conference leaders in the second half. The Gusties will likely separate themselves from the Royals and secure the right to host the opening-round playoff game. Augsburg may give Bethel a run for the final playoff spot. <\/p>\n
The St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sweep over Concordia, even though in non-conference games, gives optimism the Johnnies can slide up the standings. While Concordia has shown improvement and will be a strong program in years to come, it is increasingly looking like the Cobbers will be hard pressed to erase the effects of their previous series with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
And with that this column takes its holiday slumber. It has been an exciting first portion of the hockey season, and the second half looks to provide just as much intrigue. Happy holidays to all our readers, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see you in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
