UB blew a three-goal lead against the Griffs but got their act together for a result in the next game against #17 Niagara. The resulting changes to the USHSHO club hockey rankings indicate that UB will fall one spot to #15 - still a pretty good spot for an at large trip to nationals.
And any trip to Nationals will be from an at large entry. UB's loss to Canisius removed the last team that could have upset the Golden Griffins down the stretch. The Purple Eagles claimed the NECHL regular season title, and the league's nationals bid, for the second time in three years.
The Bulls have a chance to hold or improve their standing nationally when they travel to #20 Syracuse this week. The Orange and Bulls are also fighting over the #2 seed in the upcoming NECHL championship tournament.
