FROM THE BLUE LINE for February 26, 1999
with Maine head coach Rick Filighera and Deron Treadwell
The University of Maine was 0-2 on the week as the Lady Black Bears were
easily handled by powerhouse Brown University 10-0 and 7-0.
"We played well on Friday but did not receive the special goaltending we
were getting all year," said coach Rick Filighera on the weekend. "We
would make a mistake in the defensive zone and the puck would be in the
back of our net.
"Saturday night we just quit," he continued. "I feel that we played with
no confidence and had no spark. Again, this happens from time to time with
a new team searching for leadership."
No spark is right. The closer of the two games, Brown's 7-0 win Saturday,
could have been much worse. The Black Bears were outshot 73-9 according to
the ECAC, which was clearly the most dominant an opponent has been all
season long on the shot chart. Filighera said the most glaring improvement
Maine must make is "that we need to get physically stronger if we want to
compete with them." That will take time.
Despite the disparity in goals and shots, Filighera said the team is still
confident.
"The players still seem upbeat and have a belief and confidence that we can
play with Cornell," he said.
Cornell, who braved an east coast snowstorm to get to Maine, will be the
Black Bears' last home opponent of the season and a good season-ending
measuring stick as they currently sit in the 8th and final playoff spot in
the ECAC. Maine rests in 11th-place in the ECAC at 12-5-1 overall and
6-15-1 in the league.
"Cornell has good goaltending and I feel they will be small and crafty,"
Filighera predicted. "We will have our hands full with their experience,
but they will not out skill us like Brown, UNH, or Harvard does."
The Big Red enter the game at 12-14-1, but are 11-11 in conference play.
While Maine has the one-two punch up front of Raffi Wolf (30 goals, 12
assists) and Kira Misikowetz (12 goals, 27 assists), Cornell doesn't have
the same prolific scorers of other programs. Allison Stewart, whose 8
goals and 13 assists for 21 points ranks her as Cornell's top overall point
scorer.
In net the Big Red will turn to Alanna Hayes. Hayes currently has a 3.11
goals against average and a sparkling .908 save percentage, but only
posting a 6-12 record on the year to-date. Filighera said Hayes is a
quality goaltender, and he of all people should know.
"Alanna Hayes was a player on my under 17 year old boys team in 1994," he
recalled. "She has good size and mobility and was an unbelievable team
player."
Maine will once again turn to Amanda Cronin in net. The freshman
goaltender from York, Maine had a rough weekend as she played all 120
minutes versus Brown. Cronin has compiled a 3.87 goals against average and
a .891 save percentage in her first season.
Filighera singled out Cronin's play late in the game on Saturday as a
positive sign, and also gave Andrea Keller credit for her play, but the
unsung hero for this week is freshman defenseman Abbie Howell. Filighera
said that Howell doesn't always grab a lot of ice time, but "this past
weekend played more and played with heart and determination."
Howell, a native of La Selva, California, played for Team California that
was second at nationals in part due to Howell's two goals and 20 assists.
Howell was named best defensive player and won the Most Sportsmanlike Award
five years in a row. Her twin sister, Jennie, is a forward at Maine.
Howell has one assist in 28 games played on the Maine blue line.
In stark contrast, Filighera was blunt in his assessment of the rest of the
team.
"I feel that nobody else played up to their potential," the coach said.
It will take a team effort from the Black Bears to beat Cornell. Both
teams score exactly 3 goals per game, but the Big Red have the edge in
defense allowing just 2.85 goals per game, while Maine allows 3.57.
Cornell is frequently in the penalty box as they have the second-most
penalty minutes per game, but their penalty kill is sixth-best in the
league at 82.9 percent effective. Maine's power play is operating at a
16.2 percent efficiency, ninth-best in the league.
Maine didn't light the lamp once last weekend, and against a solid
defensive team this game will come down to whether or not Maine's scorers
can outplay Hayes in net for Cornell.
"Every game is important for our program, but this is the last chance we
have to surprise a team we are not suppose to beat," Filighera said.
Maine and Cornell meet at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Alfond Arena in
Orono. Admission is free.

Subject: CIAUs - First two games (a little long!)
Well, I just got back from spending a day in Toronto watching the first two
games of the CIAU round robin games.
The first game was Laurier vs. McGill. My impressions of the McGill team
were that they were a very young/inexperienced team. I don't know anything
about the team - this is just my impression. They never seemed to get off a
good shot on the Laurier goalie... But they did have some fun players to
watch!
The second game was Concordia vs. U of T and it was one of the best games of
hockey I have seen in a while - not "women's" hockey, but ANY hockey. It
was fast-paced, action packed, and there were some loud fans from both teams
present. From the moment the puck was dropped, Concordia had the momentum.
They had an edge throughout the game with unbelieveable team awareness and
puck control. I was in awe! With less than a minute to go and Concordia up
2-0, the game looked to be in hand. Then the U of T coaches and team
proceeded to string together a series of textbook plays and scored two
tip-in goals to tie the game. Unbelieveable. The game went into overtime,
then shootouts which Concordia won 2-1.
I just still can't believe that game! There was a one minute span in the
second period where Keely Brown (U of T goalie) stood on her head -
literally! It was a flurry of power play shots by Concordia and she saved
them all, including a glove save with an ungloved hand! Much cheering from
both sides for that amazing display. Needless to say she got player of the
game for her team.
One problem with the game was the home town reffing. The referee made three
blatant make-up calls on Concordia to try and even the power plays for U of
T. It's too bad that my lasting impression of the game includes that.
Concordia killed off a 5 second 5-on-3 and then another minute and a half of
5-on-4 at one critical point. Plus there was a goalie interference call in
overtime on Concordia...
Anyway, sorry to be so long winded but I HIGHLY reccommend anyone to come to
T.O. and check out the CIAUs. I'm still recovering!

Camp instructors and counselors will be current and former NCAA Division I,
II, and III Women's Hockey Players and Coaches. NCAA rules prohibit the
use of collegiate athletes names for promotional purposes, so we are not
allowed to list our instructors. Last year we had 13 players and coaches,
along with 3 local coaches, and a 3 to 1 player to instructor ratio
throughout the camp - we will strive to maintain that ratio (except for
Women's Senior).
The camp is scheduled during one of the busiest weeks in Milwaukee

South Shore Water Frolics (lots of fireworks at the
lakefront)
Bastille Days - French ethnic festival in Downtown streets

festival, on the lakefront. Best fireworks you'll ever see.

DEERING SCORES TWICE AS BEARS DOWN GOPHERS
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.--Brown center Marcie Deering scored both of her team's goals
and Ali Brewer stopped 28 of 29 shots as the Bears handed Minnesota a 2-1 loss
at Mariucci Arena.
In a physical match-up between the second-ranked Gophers and fourth-ranked
Brown, the visitors got on the board first as Tamra Jones split the Minnesota
defense with a pass and Deering carried the puck in from the red line before
beating Erica Killewald between the legs for her 12th goal of the season at
10:39.
The Gophers got the goal back in the second period while killing a penalty. Kris
Scholz got her 16th goal of the season as she rapped home a loose puck at 11:49.
Both teams battled through nearly 35 minutes of scoreless action and appeared
headed to overtime until Deering took a pass from Jill Graat, fired a backhand
shot over the net but stuffed home a rebound to give the Bears a 2-1 win.
Brown, 18-4-3, outshot Minnesota, 25-3-2, 30-29 and snapped the Gophers'
seven-game winning streak. Killewald had 28 saves for Minnesota.
The two teams wrap up their two-game series beginning at 7:05 p.m. Saturday at
Mariucci Arena.
