The Colonial States College Hockey Conference welcomed in 2022 with a ton of goals. Only one of the seven games last weekend featuring CSCHC teams was decided by two or less goals, including every in-conference matchup.
The busiest team coming off the break was The College of New Jersey. The Lions played three games in as many days and came away with two wins. The defending Colonial Cup Champions have been on-and-off this season but a three goal slate for senior Logan Viducic (five points total) could be the kickstart needed to finish strong heading into the playoffs.
The other Lions, Bryn Athyn College, also opened the new year in a big way. The squad defeated West Chester University on subsequent days by a total scoreline of 16-4. Zachary Pamaylaon, the Colonial’s leading goalscorer, added four more goals to his tally along with an additional five assists. The wins keep Bryn Athyn in second place in the Liberty Division with 18 points and two games in-hand compared to first place.
Additionally, Millersville University was scheduled to play a home-and-away series against the University of Delaware’s Division II team last weekend. Friday’s road leg at Fred Rust Arena was canceled the day of, but the Marauder’s home game the next day went ahead. Bryn Athyn’s home game against Millersville’s Division III team on Sunday was also canceled.
The lone conference game not played last weekend was due to weather. Sunday’s contest between the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Scranton was postponed due to the incoming snowstorm. The two schools will now meet at the Class of 1912 Arena this Friday, January 21.
