Regular Season Finished

With regular season finished the teams now travel for one last shot at each other in Tampa this coming weekend.  Congratulations to Regular Season Champions UCF and Miami who will both get a 1st Round Bye and will await the results from Friday night and early Saturday morning to determine their first opponents as they try to continue their quest for Regional glory.  The other matchups have already been set and are as follows each with a brief description of the season and all time series as well as any key injuries or suspensions that might affect their outcomes.  The SCRHA is proud of all the players, coaches and fans for a great Regular Season and we will see you in Tampa!

 

Game 1 - 9pm 3/4/2005

Funny enough the two teams that play against each other in Gainesville week in and our have not met at all in the Regular season this year.  Both teams had strong showings in their respective divisions this year and look to next weekend to see who actually rules the Orange and Blue.  No injuries to report.

 

Game 2 - 10pm 3/4/2005

The Yellow Jackets hope to be able to overcome a late season injury to keep their perfect record against the Ospreys this year.  Tech holds a slight advantage in the Regular Season with a 3-0-0 margin but don't count out North Florida.  The team is young with speed and look to veteran goaltender Lonnie Liles to play spoiler in this matchup of 3 vs 6.  Key Injuries: UNF- None Georgia Tech - Ryan Rapp listed as questionable.

 

Game 3 - 11pm 3/4/2005

There is no love lost in this matchup, the teams met three times this all time but this will mark the first time this season the teams square off.  The Golden Knights hope to finish strong and secure a birth in the 2nd National Championship for B Division this year in Denver.  The Owls hope to squash those dreams for immortality by taking care of the Knights early on.  Key Injuries - UCF B - None, FAU - Gavin Theile - OUT (Knee), Kevin Ault - day-to-day.

 

Game 4 - 12am 3/5/2005

 This will be the 3rd all time meeting for these teams, GSU has a 1-0-0 record against the Eagles this year but will not take the Riddle team lightly.  The GSU employ a dual goaltending tandem of David Johnson and Kyle Somerville who hope to continue their strong play against Embry Riddle.  The Eagles are hoping the 3 weeks off will be enough to replenish a depleted roster and come on strong for the Regional Championships.

 

Game 5 - 7am 3/5/2005

The Bulls are poised an ready to try to dethrone their rivals the UCF Golden Knights, but first they must deal with the Panthers from FIU.  The teams have met twice this season and 6 times overall with the Bulls winning all 6 games.  The FIU team has been hungry for an upset and hope to take the wind out of the sails of USF in this early morning matchup. No injuries reported by either squad.

 

Game 6 - 8am 3/5/2005

The final game of Round 1 pits the flu stricken Eckerd College team against the hottest team at the DII level the Emory University Eagles.  The teams will have to duke it out this weekend bright and early in order to advance.  No Key Injuries reported.
