Air Force Hockey Advances to the Semifinals

These are a little late so I apologize. It's GR season and I was swamped with work.

Anyways, Air Force defeated the UConn Huskies in three games to move on to the Atlantic Hockey League semifinals in New York. The Cadet Ice Arena was packed with rowdy cadets and fans who supported the Falcons through their difficult endeavor. The Falcons won 4-3 in game one on Friday, lost 3-1 Saturday, and won 4-3 in game three on Sunday.

I spent most of the final game trying to get good shots of the goalie. They came out pretty decent. Pictures are below.

Goalie Stephen Caple comes of the bench and makes a glove save.

Caple started game three and made 28 saves in the Falcon's win on Sunday.

In other news, recognition for the freshmen begins after the last military duty on Thursday afternoon and runs until Saturday afternoon. Pictures and stories will be posted throughout the event.

If you have questions about recognition, the USAFA Folklore Wiki can give some guidance: http://69.199.231.171/wiki/index.php/Recognition.

Go Falcons!
