Want to wish both the Pointers and the Golden Gusties good luck in the FF. That GAC roster...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> What a team. I'll be happy to see both / either do well. How are the brackets set up ?? Time for the west to take the title IMO. <p></p><i></i>

Brooky,<br><br>It could be a All West Championship, if Point beats Plattsburgh<br>in their game. And it could happen. <br>Stevens Point is leading the nation in goals against average making them the #1 Defense in the nation in Division 3 womens hockey. <br>Amy Statz is a huge part of that, she leds the nation in GAA with 1.19 and is on her game right now. <br>Point is riding a HOT goalie and we know what can happen.<br><br>Gustavus is focused and playing a Middlebury squad that is somewhat depleted by losing their All American senior Captain, Emily Quizon, although she is may play her last game with a torn ACL. Not a good way to finish a career. But I see the Gusties coming out on top and making it to the Championship game.<br><br>GAC vs Middlebury 3:30 Friday<br>UWSP vs Plattsburgh 7:00 Friday<br><br>3rd place 3:30 Saturday<br>Championship 7:00 Saturday<br><br>Hoping for that all West Championship!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... eyfan09</A> at: 3/15/06 8:50 am<br></i>

UW-Stevens Point beat Gustavus for 3rd place of the 2006 DIII Championships.<br><br>Best of the West!<br>Junior goaltender Amy Statz turned away 29 shots to lead the UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team to a 2-0 victory over Gustavus Adolphus in the NCAA third place game Saturday afternoon in Plattsburgh, N.Y.<br>Statz made nine first period saves as the Gusties tallied seven shots on goal before the Pointers finally put a shot on Kitty Hurley. Sophomore forward Katy Lankey put UW-Stevens Point ahead 1-0 on just its second shot on goal. Lankey came off the bench as a Pointer penalty expired as freshman Jackie Drews hit her with a pass at the blue line and Lankey hustled in one on zero to beat Hurley with a wrist shot.<br>"We just wanted to send our seniors (Tracy Truckey and Kim Lunneborg) out with a win", Lankey said after the game.<br><br>Truckey had a chance to put the Pointers up two in the second on a breakaway chance but Hurley was able handle the shot with a kick save. <br><br>Statz continued to shut down Gustavus Adolphus as the Gusties out-shot the Pointers 13-4 in the second period and 29 to 13 in the game. Gustavus put 10 shots on goal during three power play opportunities in the second period, but Statz refused to let one past her.<br><br>With 4:26 remaining, Statz was charged with a tripping penalty when she tried to get her stick on a centering pass from the right point as a Gustavus player tried to handle the puck cutting in front of Statz just outside the crease.<br>"I wasn't happy with the call, but I knew for the next two minutes they weren't going to score on me", Statz said.<br><br>Gustavus has a number of chances in the third period as two shots hit the post, but bounced off to the side and a defender was able to control for UW-Stevens Point.<br><br>Freshman Michelle Sosnowski scored her fifth goal of the season when she flipped a long shot from just inside her own defensive zone into an empty net on the far end to seal the victory for the Pointers. Jamie Lewandowski was credited with an assist on the goal. <br><br>For Statz it was her 10th shutout and 18th win of the season as the Pointers completed the year at 21-5-4 overall.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.uwsp.edu/athletics/whockey/w ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... eyfan09</A> at: 3/20/06 10:40 am<br></i>
