Norwich LogoWith 2013 just getting underway Balladeer’s Blog unveils its first college hockey rankings of the season for D3 hockey and NJCAA hockey. In my usual oddball way I do a Top 11 list for D3 and a Top 6 list for the NJCAA because of their lower number of hockey teams.

NCAA Division 3 –   1. NORWICH CADETS   ###   2. HOBART STATESMEN   ###   3. EAU CLAIRE BLUGOLDS   ###   4. ST NORBERT COLLEGE GREEN KNIGHTS (defending champions)   ###   5. BOWDOIN POLAR BEARS   ###   6. ADRIAN BULLDOGS   ###   7. OSWEGO STATE LAKERS   ###   8. Continue reading →

FEBRUARY FRENZY: COLLEGE BASKETBALL AND HOCKEY RESULTS FROM FEBRUARY 26TH

 The Monroe College Tribunes (logo at left) won the 2012 NJCAA College Hockey Championship by defeating the equally cool-named Williston State Tetons 4-2 in the title game yesterday.

The Tetons (as in the mountains of that name) started off the scoring with a power play goal just a few minutes into the game, but the Tribunes came back to lead the game 2-1 by the end of the First Period. Both goaltenders shut the opposition out in the Second Period but Continue reading →

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCOREBOARDS FOR SEPTEMBER 10TH

 This is my usual Saturday post where I provide links to updating scoreboards for the divisions Balladeer’s Blog covers. First, though, my quick takes on some of last night’s games:

The Maritime College Privateers, one of the coolest-named teams in sports, carved up the Western Connecticut Colonials last night. Maritime won by a score of 48-0, setting up this season’s first post-victory ritual of breaking a two-by four. Hey, it’s odd but memorable!

The Catholic Cardinals at the Gallaudet Bison wound up being the game of the night, with the Continue reading →

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 8TH

Tonight there are not as many games in the divisions Balladeer’s Blog covers as there were last Thursday, but there’s still quite a sampling. The NAIA has the night off and D3 has just one game going, but the NJCAA and D2 pick up the slack, especially the former. Two of D2’s games are being televised nationwide however, so we’ll start with those:

CENTRAL WASHINGTON WILDCATS  at the HUMBOLDT STATE LUMBERJACKS  – Airing on the cable channel called CBS College Sports at 8PM ET

NEWBERRY WOLVES  at the VALDOSTA STATE BLAZERS  – Airing on Cox SportsNet  at 7PM ET

D3’s sole game tonight features the MARYVILLE FIGHTING SCOTS at the Continue reading →
