emerson jarvis's opening goal in fpu-qu was absolutely disgusting
FPU head coach David Stockdale on goaltender Jill Hertl who made 49 stops on 53 shots tonight:
"I think she showed today, you know, you could put her on on one of the top teams in the country, and she would be lights out."
"I think our league needs a lot more respect than it receives, and I just hope we can keep building that respect for our conference." - Jill Hertl
"I definitely think that within the next coming years the NEWHA will be a very very strong representative of the bid." - FPU captain Maggie Korneta

FINAL
Some extra head pats for Jill Hertl as Franklin Pierce's season has come to an end. With its 4-0 victory, Quinnipiac advances to the NCAA Tournament regional final to face the #Badgers.
Narrowest margin of defeat ever for a NEWHA team in the NCAAT, but the first time one has been shut out.
It appears the breaking point has been reached.
Hertl leaves a big rebound in the slot, and QU winger Laurence Frenette bangs it home five-hole.
4-0 game with under five minutes to play now.
Quinnipiac takes a 3-0 lead with 7:42 to play in regulation
Franklin Pierce goaltender Jill Hertl has been incredible tonight. 40 saves on 42 shots and she's turned away some really tough looks.
Anyone saying she leads the country in save percentage because she plays in the NEWHA is selling her short.
FPU winger Addison Andre had this look. She's clearly been the Ravens' greatest offensive threat tonight. Maybe Franklin Pierce's only player who can truly keep up with Quinnipiac's speed.
She needs the puck in the 3rd for Franklin Pierce to have a chance here.
End of 2, Quinnipiac may have found its stride here. Another goal on a 2-on-1 rush makes it 2-0 just before time expired.
Bryn Prier passed to Kahlen LaMarche, and LaMarche banked a shot off Prier into the net.
Third period is starting to feel like a formality.
The Bobcats finally have the lead. 1-0 Quinnipiac over Franklin Pierce with 4:10 to play in the 2nd.
QU's Emerson Jarvis with just an incredible set of moves to beat two defenders and Jill Hertl.
Quinnipiac defender Zoe Uens appeared to have broken the scoreless tie
She ripped a wrister from the center faceoff circle that beat FPU's Jill Hertl high blocker side, but QU did not have its players all back from the zone.
no goal because players were offsides.
Sheesh.
And now she's back on the ice after a whistle.
Crisis averted for Quinnipiac.
LaMarche is putting her helmet back on.
LaMarche was holding a white towel, which... is still white (not visibly red) after taking off her helmet and applying it to her head.
She's heading to bench, but still shaken up.
The country's leading goal-scorer, Kahlen LaMarche, just took a puck to the head on a shot from a QU defender's shot from the point.
She's down in front of the net and in a lot of pain.
Still 0-0 at the timeout midway through the 2nd.
Ravens doing just enough in the defensive end, getting sticks in the Bobcats' passing lanes to prevent high-danger scoring chances.
Quinnipiac has possessed the puck for much of the game, but FPU seems to be settling in the further along we go.
This 0-0 tie between Quinnipiac and Franklin Pierce after 20 minutes is the first time since the NEWHA began receiving an AQ in 2023 that its representative is not trailing after the 1st.
2025 Duluth led Sacred Heart 1-0
2024 Cornell led Stonehill 1-0
2023 Wisconsin led Long Island 3-0
It's 0-0 after the first.
QU's Felicia Frank with a couple of strong saves on 10 shots by the Ravens, including a breakaway and one good look from the slot on the PP
FPU's Jill Hertl with 19 saves
UMD's last shot on goal came with 3:27 to go. They attempted five (5) the rest of the way.

Wisconsin women's hockey players in the stands
Coaches in a luxury box
The #Badgers have arrived to scout the competition
Four Minnesota natives, another pair of Shattuck alums, and two Canadians on the roster.
LaBahn Arena pregame
The Quinnipiac Bobcats, champions of the ECAC, and the Franklin Pierce Ravens, have taken the ice inside LaBahn Arena for the NCAA Tournament regional semifinal.
For you sickos out there, I'll probably write some words on these here internets about it.
I was so sure that shot by Zoom Diallo was going in lol
"Now weβll justβwe look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to continue the journey together one more time," #Badgers head coach Mike Hastings said.
If that opportunity comes, the Badgers will look to end a long drought by winning an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since 2010.
"It didn't start good, and it got worse," says #Badgers head coach Mike Hastings of UW's 7-1 loss.
That was, without a doubt in my mind, one of THE hockey games ever played.
FINAL
Wisconsin's run in the Big Ten Tournament never got off the ground.
A 7-1 loss that creates a laundry list of "worst defeat since"
