Ellen Weinberg was a wonderful defender at UNH.  She graduated in 1991
and was the captain of the team.  Weinberg went on to play for the USA
national team in WWC 92 in Finland.  She was a very intelligent defender,
and her refined skating and passing let her set-up numerous counter-attacks.
Weinberg was also an assistant coach with the UNH Women for a couple of
years.
 
I agree with the people who have been saying drop back to 8 teams or go
up to 16.  This regional format with the first night byes is not making
it.  Why not go with 16 teams and have 4 regionals, one hosted by each
conference.  You could have two games night one, and the final night
two.  The situation would be much fairer to the teams involved.  Of course
you could go back to campus sites!!! and which would give the four top
seeds a big edge.
 
My only big complaint about the TV coverage (besides Norton=mute button)
would be that they kept telling us how great the Michigan/Minnesota game
was, but only gave the score once, and we got zero highlights.  Dull
interviews with nervous committee members is silly at best.
