By now you know that Colby will head to their first ever NESCAC title game to face the host and top seed Trinity Bantams, who will look for their third straight CAC crown. But how did the semis unfold in the world of 140 280 characters?

It's fitting that we will have a first time finalist for the second straight season (Colby or Wesleyan this year; Hamilton last) in the same season that the two most successful programs in NESCAC history failed to make the playoffs (Bowdoin for the 1st time, Middlebury for 2nd).— Hockey in the 'Cac (@hockeyinthecac) March 3, 2018
1st PeriodColby hockey set for NESCAC final four https://t.co/lbLpvt3EiV— Barbara Walls (@BarbatColby) March 2, 2018
Dan Dupont throws it at the goal from just inside the zone, unclear if it was a Colby player or Wesleyan player that tipped it. Either way, Colby up 1-0 on Wesleyan in first four minutes.— Hockey in the 'Cac (@hockeyinthecac) March 3, 2018
And just like that it is 1-1. Sean Ross fires home the power play equalizer after a bevy of activity in front of Sean Lawrence. Wesleyan still on PP for over a minute— Hockey in the 'Cac (@hockeyinthecac) March 3, 2018
After 1 period in Connecticut, @ColbyHockey leads @Wes_Athletics 2-1. Dupont and Hewson with the Mules goals.— Travis Barrett (@TBarrettGWC) March 3, 2018
2nd Period
After 40 minutes @themules have a 2-1 lead. Twenty minutes to play in this @NESCAC semifinal #colbyhockey #holdthehill #d3hky— Colby Hockey (@ColbyHockey) March 3, 2018
3rd Period
Mules catch the Cards napping just 50 seconds into the final frame. Deep outlet pass to Kienan Scott, who gains the zones and fires it past Sestak for 3-1 lead and his 9th tally of his sophomore campaign.— Hockey in the 'Cac (@hockeyinthecac) March 3, 2018
Not sure what happened. The Mules dumped the puck around the boards all the way up the ice and Cam MacDonald went in one handed to put Colby up 4-1 with 8:14 left in the first NESCAC semifinals.— Hockey in the 'Cac (@hockeyinthecac) March 3, 2018
Big night for Klitirinos as he tallied a goal in two assists in Colby’s 5-1 win over Coach Beck’s alma mater Wesleyan.— Kent Boys Hockey (@KentPuck) March 4, 2018
That’ll do @ColbyHockey. Well done. Let’s get the title now. @themules @ColbyCollege pic.twitter.com/OVsifz05I2— Arne Koch (@GMProfKoch) March 3, 2018

In division 3 hockey NCAA: The west is set (theoretically): Adrian, St. Norbert, WI-Stephen Point, Augsberg. The East should be: Geneseo, Hobart, Nichols, Fitchberg St, Salve Regina, Trinity. Question is this: Does Oswego get the last At-Large?— Ray Belanger (@betaset) March 4, 2018
Trinity and Colby will be playing tomorrow for the NESCAC final at 2 pm. Colby won 5-1 and Trinity just won 5-2. Both teams trailed today before scoring FIVE unanswered goals. Oswego State rooting heavily for Trinity.— Brian Krosky (@krosky_OS) March 3, 2018
Thank you to @EphSports Hockey for a great year working with you guys. The trust you showed throughout the process is something I will never forget.
