B Division Wrap-up
The B Division got an early start to their winter break, with the Southern CA B teams playing their final 1st half games on November 15, 2003 at Inline Sports Center in Corona, CA. November 8, 2003 marked the midpoint for the Northern CA B teams.
Here's how they stack up.
Cal Poly SLO B Gold (6 wins, 2 losses) has only lost 2 games, both to Division II teams. CPSLO B Gold remains undefeated against teams in the B Division. SLO B Gold plays next on January 24, 2004 at Water City Roller Hockey in Marina, CA.
Cal Poly SLO B Green (5 wins, 3 losses) has only lost 3 games, 2 to Division II teams and 1 to CPSLO B Gold (11-7, Upland). SLO B Green plays next on February 7, 2004 at Davis Indoor Sports Center.
Cal Poly Pomona B (4 wins, 4 losses) has lost 1 game to a Division II team (UC Riverside) and 3 1-goal games to the Cal Poly SLO B teams (9-8 vs. SLO B Green, 3-2 vs. SLO B Gold, 7-6 vs. SLO B Green). These tight matchups could have gone either way, and the standings could be a totally different story. 1 more goal, 1 less penalty, that close! There is no doubt that Pomona B will come out gunning and try and score the first goal when these teams meet again! Pomona B plays next on January 24, 2004 at Water City Roller Hockey in Marina, CA.
UC Davis B (2 wins, 5 losses, 1 tie) has beaten CSU Monterey Bay B twice so far this season (17-4, 10-1) and are the first B team to at least tie a Division II team. UC Davis B tied CSUMB's A team 3-3 in Marina on November 8th, 2003.
UC Santa Barbara B Blue (2 wins, 2 losses) UCSB B Blue team has folded due to lack of interest and other commitments. Various members have joined the UCSB B Gold team.
CSU Monterey Bay B (0 wins, 8 losses) have a small squad of guys and a rotating goaltender situation of players from the A and B team that makes it tough to compete with some of the larger schools. Despite their record, the players have kept a great attitude. CSUMB B plays next on February 7, 2004 at Davis Indoor Sports Center.
UC Santa Barbara B Gold (0 wins, 8 losses) with the addition of players from the UCSB B Blue team, hopes to regroup over the break and start racking up some wins. UCSB B Gold plays next on January 10th at the Palomar Family YMCA in Escondido, against UC Davis B, UC Riverside, UC San Diego and San Jose State, not an easy tournament.
