Arizona State University is your WCRHL 2020 Division I Champion! ASU defeated CSU Fullerton 2 games to none in the best-of-3 series.

Arizona State’s regular season record of 15-1 was nothing short of stellar.  Their only blemish is a loss to Cal Poly SLO in the first event of the season, a 1-0 chess match of a game between 2 very talented teams.  Arizona State played all WCRHL competition this season, as their scheduled trip to Chicago for the MCRHL Inter-Conference Event was cancelled due to a storm in Chicago. 

At the WCRHL Conference Championships, Arizona State would face CSU Fullerton in a best-of-3 series, Saturday afternoon and evening.  In Game 1, ASU got on the board first, just under 5 minutes into the game on a goal from Logan Corrigan.  CSU Fullerton would tie it up just over 1 minute later on a goal from James Maloney.  CSU Fullerton would strike 3:32 into the 2nd period to take a 2-1 lead, on a goal by Dylan Kammer.  However, just like in the first period, a goal just over 1 minute later would tie the game, ASU’s Corrigan scoring his 2nd goal of the game.  The 3rd period saw CSU Fullerton take a 3-2 lead just 48 seconds into the period, again by Kammer.  However, 3 unanswered Arizona State goals (the final one an empty netter) gave Arizona State the 5-3 win.  ASU’s Logan Corrigan scored 3 goals in the win, followed by Blake Tallas with 2 goals, and CSU Fullerton’s Dylan Kammer with 2 goals and 1 assist.

In Game 2, Arizona State came out fast, notching 2 goals in the 3rd minute of the game, and taking a 2-0 lead into the 2nd period while outshooting CSU Fullerton 7-3.  The shots were evened up in the 2nd, with CSU Fullerton outshooting ASU 7-3, but each team scoring 1 goal a piece.  Play really opened up in the 3rd period, as CSU Fullerton knew that they needed to take some chances to try to overcome their 2 goal deficit.  Shots in the 3rd were ASU 11, CSUF 6, and it was 3 straight Arizona State goals that took the Sun Devils to a 6-1 victory and the 2019-2020 WCRHL Division I Championship.  It was a team effort on both sides, with 9 Arizona State players scoring a goal or assist in the game.

Arizona State’s Logan Corrigan earned Division I Most Valuable Player, netting 3 goals in game 1 and 1 more in game 2.  Blake Tallas had 3 goals and goaltender Aaron Gittings stopped 31 of 34 shots in the series.
