Retrievers Season Ends at Nationals With #4 Ranking

Cheered on by a large crowd of alumni, UMBC fought hard but did not have the legs to keep up with Central CT and the Dawg's PowerPlay units that had connected on over 50% of their chances in Pool play could not match that pace in the Semi-Finals. Altough the Retrievers would see their season end - it was a fantastic run that everyone associated with the team can be proud of. Truly it was a season of teamwork that resulted in many historic firsts - to include a final National Ranking of #4. Congratulations to the players, coaches, staff, families, friends and fans of the team for making UMBC's 20th anniversary season one for the record books! The team now sets its sites on making the trip to Nationals an annual event!! Photos posted at: http://umbchockey.shutterfly.com/

UMBC Wins Pool A at Nationals

The Retrievers became William Patterson's biggest fans and cheered as they pulled off an OT win against Colorado State. That meant that the winner of the UMBC vs Lindenwood game would move on to the Semi-Finals. UMBC played their finest all around game of the season, took advantage of PowerPlay opportunities, and limited offensive chances in their zone. The result of the total team effort gave UMBC the win and allowed them to move on to the Semi-Finals at the National Championship. Hats off to the alumni and fans who turned out in force to help cheer on the Dawgs!
