West Chester wins ECRHA Championship over Rowan!!!
Posted: March 07, 2010 12:24PM; Updated: March 07, 2010 6:10PM Feasterville, PA - While the PCRHL is off this week from games, the ECRHA held its Regional Championships this weekend at the Sportsplex in Feasterville, PA. The ECRHA (regional) and NCRHA (national) are parent leagues to the PCRHL, and many of the same schools compete there as well as in the PCRHL. Many ECRHA players have PCRHL history in their resumes; the championships thus promote all that is good in collegiate roller hockey.
This year's ECRHA regional championships were well attended by PCRHL member schools. Division II boasted teams from Drexel, Rowan, and West Chester as well as past PCRHL member teams Neumann and Temple. Temple and West Chester were also active in the B Division championships.
After a long weekend of play, The West Chester University Rams have emerged as the Division II champions, defeating Rowan 4-2 in the championship game! WCU defeated Neumann in a tight 5-4 semifinal game to reach the championship, while Rowan upset previously undefeated (and top seeded) Brockport to reach the final game. Both Drexel and Temple made it out of pool play; Drexel lost to Pitt in the play-in game while Temple lost to West Chester in the quarterfinals. Temple and West Chester's B teams both made it to the semi-final games on opposite sides of the bracket.
Tremendous congratulations go out to all member teams, especially West Chester who will receive an automatic bid to NCRHA National championships. Both Rowan and Neumann should receive National bids, while Temple will wait to see how their luck turns out on bid-day.
