BYU 14, Colorado 5 FINAL (Thursday April 3rd)

[laxdad03]

Well, still not knowing if we'll get live stats, or if anyone else is out there, so I'll post whatever I can. So far, byualum (many thanks) at the field says blue skies, sunny, much better than down south (Denver); he also notes that "CU has the worst uniforms I've ever seen"...hopefully just warmups?

[13:58] GOAL by CU Tyler Snyder (FIRST GOAL).

Loose ball, deflection on the crease. (Plus more comments about uni's...)

[laxdad03]

CU has won both faceoffs to this point; judging from thus far, it may be another day of little possession for BYU. Kikumoto reportedly had two big saves...BYU finally gets ball, Austin stuffed inside.

[laxdad03]

[06:04] Penalty on CU Mike Geocaris (HOLDING/0:30) Extra-man opportunity.

[laxdad03]

BYU EMO not converted, save by Moriarty at end. Both goalies doing well. BYU ride starting to work, CU went zone.

[00:51] GOAL by BYU Steve Naegle, Assist by Elliot Grow.
Brigham Young Univ. 1, Colorado University 1

[00:16] GOAL by BYU Josh Austin, Assist by Jake Ferrin.
Brigham Young Univ. 2, Colorado University 1

End of 1st Q.

2nd Q

[15:00] Penalty on BYU Pat Matheson (PUSHING/0:30) Extra-man opportunity.

EMO fails on another Moriarty save.

[laxdad03]

BYU doing better on faceoffs, rotating FOGOs. CU has had only a couple brief possessions in this quarter.

[09:42] GOAL by BYU Elliot Grow.
Brigham Young Univ. 3, Colorado University 1
(A "wicked left-handed no-angle shot")
Timeout CU.

[laxdad03]

[08:00] GOAL by BYU Justin Hier.
Brigham Young Univ. 4, Colorado University 1

[07:42] GOAL by BYU Josh Austin, Assist by Mark Manning.
Brigham Young Univ. 5, Colorado University 1

[06:55] Penalty on CU Matt Kinsky (SLASHING/1:00) Extra-man opportunity.

EMO converted.
[06:05] GOAL by BYU Jake Ferrin (MAN-UP), Assist by Elliot Grow.
Brigham Young Univ. 6, Colorado University 1

BYU ride taking a toll. CU young, lots of unforced errors. Blackburn (CU) looks good on O.

[laxdad03]

[00:19] Timeout by BYU.

Quarter ends, 6-1 BYU.

BYU controlling/sharing the ball well, was tentative at first but settled in.

Byualum says the Lax gods must be mad at CU for the uniforms...

[laxdad03]

Don't know if there's anybody out there, but LiveStats seems to have died, got 3 seconds into the 3rd quarter and stopped. I'll post what I hear, just in case there really is somebody watching.

Still 6-1, pretty even this period. A few hundred fans, sizeable BYU contingent...

CU scores (no details, Byualum was getting hot chocolate), so now 6-2.

About 7 min left in 3rd.

BYU EMO, Hier scores from GLE on feed from Grow, now 7-2.

CU now EMO on Watterson penalty, late hit?

[laxdad03]

Hier from Grow again, about 10 yds right hand. 8-2.

Grow scores lefty, now 9-2. About 3 min left in 3rd Q.

Some CSU players showing up at the game, I haven't seen anything about their score online yet, maybe we can get something from Boulder.

[laxdad03]

CSU beat AZ 12-9. CSU player's comment: It was a lot closer than it needed to be.

Back to Boulder's game; CU scored again with a couple minutes left in third Q, so it's 9-3. Nothing too interesting a couple minutes into the 4th, until Grow (BYU) scores on right side alley dodge, 10-3.

[laxdad03]

Broken clear for CU, Hier gets it and feeds Manning on crease. 13 min left, 11-3 BYU.

[laxdad03]

CU scored (either #14 or #17, sorry...), 11-4.

About 7:20 left, Manning (BYU) scores (another broken CU clear), 12-4.

Starting to get chippy, has been a physical game. BYU going to bench somewhat more now, still rotating a lot though.

6:10, Hier from Manning, 12 yds lefty, 13-4.

[laxdad03]

Johns scores for CU, about a minute left, 13-5.

Byualum: CU's drunken fans are a LITTLE funnier than CSU's drunken fans...

Weinberger (BYU) scores on open goal from Mathay, 14-5.

Final, BYU 14, CU 5.
