The most surprising score of last week’s line of results
came from St. Lawrence’s Appleton Arena, where the hometown
Saints blasted Cornell 8-1. But anyone who’s been watching
St. Lawrence closely probably wasn’t as surprised as the rest
of the nation.
The Saints have quietly gone on a pretty impressive run.
They’re 6-1-1 in their last eight games including the win
against Cornell and a tie at Yale. The record is 8-2-1 in their
last 11 games.
There’s a lot to like about this St. Lawrence team entering
the final four weekends of the regular season. For starters,
there’s experience. Of the 18 skaters in the lineup against
Cornell, plus starting goalie Alex Petizian, 14 were either seniors
(7) or juniors (7) and 11 of those have played more than 90 games
in their college careers. Most important among that group are four
senior stalwart defensemen - Shawn Fensel, Matt Generous, Zach
Miskovic and Jared Ross - who have played a combined 529 games, and
not a single one has been a healthy scratch even once in their
entire collegiate careers.
