Yahoo! Beat them in the first round of the BIG Tourney at Happy Valley. Murphy & Tiernan with the goals. Got this from GT. Jimenez with six saves. Don't know much else at this point. These ladies really dug down deep & came up big. Believe next round is on Friday. Go RU.

HUGE win! IMHO possibly the "W" that could have been the hardest for us to earn, coming in, and we nailed it! Get the winner of the 4PM Northwester(3) vs Nebraska(4) game, Friday, which gets this team some much, much needed rest!

Looking at PS's record, only the second time they've been shut out this year. Lost 1-0 to UCLA earlier in the season. Only shut out they suffered in the BIG. You go RU Ladies.

Do they have to win this tournament to have a shot at the NCAA tournament?

I, for one, don't know.

I, for one, don't know.

Our RPI was 23 coming into today. We'll end up Top 20 RPI. I think we get in EASILY even with a loss on Friday.

Congrats to the women in a must win game against a very good PSU team! This should get them in the NCAAs but This gives them momentum in the B1G championship tournament. Let's keep it going ladies!!M

Great win. The B1G's final four will have Minnesota vs. Michigan and RU vs. NW. RU handed NW its only loss of the season when they played here earlier in the season. It would be a huge challenge to do it again. Hopefully the women are peaking at the right time. Should RU advance, we will take on either Michigan, who defeated us, or Minnesota, the #1 seed, whom we've not played this season.
