The Weekend in Stick: Kablammo! (Part II)

Part I gave you all the big stories from the weekend; Part II is all about the little stories that are notable and adorable in easily digestible form.

ELSEWHERE

Brown hung around but Yale eventually put Bruno away with an four-goal run to erase an 8-7 deficit with 8:07 to play in the fourth quarter; Brandon Mangan had five points and 11 shots in the Elis' 11-8 victory . . . Even the dorky kid running the live stats scored in Duke's 19-16 victory over Virginia; the Cavaliers haven't been jettisoned to the cold recesses of space yet, but they've already loaded themselves into the tin can strapped to rockets . . . Lehigh dumped Bucknell on the Bison's home grazing field in fairly convincing fashion, earning an 11-7 victory and the right to host the Patriot League Tournament; Matt Poillon scored against Bucknell's 10-man ride and that is incredibly adorable . . . Canisius beat Manhattan, 8-6; the Griffs needed a four-goal fourth quarter to put away the Jaspers and the bottom of the MAAC isn't a happy place . . . Albany uncorked a beating on Vermont, hammering the Catamounts to the tune of a 21-11 victory; Lyle Thompson and Ty Thompson combined for 10 goals . . . After its 11-3 defeat of Binghamton, Hartford now sits at 2-1 in the America East with important head-to-head victories over the Bearcats and UMBC; who are you going to be, Binghamton? . . . Bryant smashed bottles in Wagner’s face in a 15-6 win for the Bulldogs; the Seahawks are the awful kind of awful . . . THUNDERDOME! is a great example of amateur surgery; Delaware used an ice cream scooper to remove St. Joseph's eyes in an 11-6 victory for the Blue Hens. . . . North Carolina unleashed the fury in the second half in a 14-5 victory over Hofstra at Shuart Stadium; the Tar Heels have all the pieces this season and are setting themselves up for a special late-spring . . . Quinnipiac mitigated the hurt feelings inuring from the university's men's hockey loss in a 13-12 triple overtime victory over in-state rival Sacred Heart; when do the Bobcats get to hang out with the Rolling Stones? . . . Mercer continued VMI's plight in a 16-8 victory for the Bears; Mercer led 9-2 at the half and the Keydets don't even know where the drop zone is . . . The Mount is officially eliminated from NEC Tournament participation following a 12-11 defeat to Robert Morris; the best laid redshirt plans of mice and men. . . .

MORE ELSEWHERE

Detroit blew a 9-6 lead with 3:31 to go in the third quarter and eventually lost to Siena, 13-10; point out a MAAC team that isn't Marist and you'll have shown me a shade of icky . . . Marquette is officially the king of the new programs; the Golden Eagles' 14-6 over High Point merited Joe Amplo many thoughtful fruit baskets . . . Marist moved its MAAC record to 4-0 in a 14-11 defeat of Jacksonville; the Red Foxes are suffering no fools this season . . . Fairfield and Air Force contributed to the ECAC's fireworks show on Saturday; the Stags earned a 9-8 victory over the Falcons and got the winning tally from Jordan Greenfield with just 33 seconds remaining in regulation . . . Army crushed Navy in a 14-7 victory for the Black Knights; I'm not sure if Garrett Thul and John Glesener are the best one-two punch in the country, but they're in the conversation . . . Villanova is, somehow, still perfect in Big East play after a 13-11 victory over St. John's; it's all starting to come together for the Wildcats at the right time of the season . . . Ohio State ended up with a 17-8 victory over Michigan in the Battle at the Big House; 1,272 fans showed up to yell awful things at each other . . . Stony Brook continues to maddeningly meander through its 2013 season following a 13-12 loss to UMBC; the race in the middle of the America East is a shipwreck with kegs of rum floating in the ocean . . . Colgate qualified for the Patriot League Tournament with a 14-10 victory over Lafayette; there's still time for the Raiders to find the elixir to their issues . . . Providence earned an important 12-11 victory over Holy Cross; the win for the Friars assures Providence of a non-losing season for the first time since 2006 . . . Notre Dame started slow, falling behind 4-0, before righting the ship in the second half and putting away Georgetown, 10-8; the Irish received balanced scoring on the day (three players had two goals and six of the team's goals were assisted), which isn't a bad thing. . . .

PUMMELING AND PUMMELING AND PUMMELING

Your best individual performances from the weekend:

Sagl (16, Marquette); Peter DeLuca (18, Jacksonville); Nolan Hickey (15, Navy); Chris Selva (17, Hofstra); Gill Conners (18, Quinnipiac); and Jon Flood (16, Sacred Heart). High honors this week go LaPlante for stopping a million shots on the road and helping the Pioneers to a monster ECAC win against Loyola.

Sanders (5, Penn State); Luke Cometti (6, Syracuse); Logan Schuss (5, Ohio State); and Cody Marquis (5, Sacred Heart).
• The Tom Schreiber is Killing Everyone from Everywhere Award: There are a lot of ways to go with this, but Marcus Holman earns a Denny's placemat for his three-goal, four-assist effort against Hofstra at Shuart Stadium. (Tom Schreiber went two-and-two with just six shots against Dartmouth. Now he's just mad, and everybody is going to pay.)
