Refs called the Loras game. No OT. Game ends in a draw.

Duhawks seem to feel the pressure of having the #2 target on their back. It's tough but great teams find a way to win in all circumstances. Some reality checks need to be put in place after this weekend. UWP will be a good re bound test, I'm interested to see the fire brought out.

Gotta agree with you there Ambush. While teams say they don't let the rankings get to them, you almost have to so that you are always prepared for the best possible opponents. When you're up that high, everyone wants to take you down.

Tuesday will be a good test. Both teams have something to prove coming off less than stellar draws on the weekend.

PREDICTION

Loras - 2
UWP - 0

Duhawks find their tempo and pace, not allowing the Pioneers to get comfortable.

Judging by how UWP looked in their first game, this should be a breeze for Loras. UWP does not have any offensive threat, and I'm sure Loras will.

This may be a bit bold, but I'm thinking...

Loras 4
UWP 0

UWP will come out strong because of last year but the duhawks will score after the first 20 mins and the flood gates will open. 5-0 duhawks.

Duhawks drop 23 spots due to a draw? Hmm.

Trinity lost to an unranked team (Luther) and 8 spots to 16.

Luther, who was unranked last week, is now 6.

I'm going to go bald with all the head scratching I'm doing right now.

Dang interns.  ???. Duhawks home opener as well tonight, Loras should have some rowdy dedicated fans. Anyone know the rules of the noise makers?

Loras dropping down to #25 is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering (like Puerco noted) that Trinity barely fell after losing. Oh well, rankings are pretty irrelevant at this time of the season.

I'm excited to watch the Duhawks on the Rock Bowl tonight against UWP. Unless they get those unreal goals like they did  last year, I do not see them causing Loras too many problems. However, Loras has been letting in the odd goal even with dominating the play

My prediction: 3-0 Duhawks with Fluegel getting on the board and a Cavers brace.

What's with the video feed being taken down for the Loras v UWP match?  Audio feed is mostly fans, can't here SID and Super Sportscaster Jon Denham pontificate!

Apparently Cavers just went down with a possible dislocated elbow after wrong footing a UWP defender in the corner.

Loras is spanking the Pioneers. 2-0 with constant pressure. 13 SOG with 6 on frame to 2 for UWP on frame is a goose egg.
