TOP STORY After sweeping St. Lawrence last season, the Saints returned the favor this past weekend as they took two games from Robert Morris. The Colonials were swept for the second time this season after avoiding two losses in a row all of 2013-14. RMU returns home this weekend to face Northeastern, who like St. Lawrence, is receiving votes in both national rankings. This tilt at 84 Lumber Arena is the last in almost a month, as the Colonials follow this series with two consecutive weekends on the road before having a weekend off on Nov. 14-15.
SERIES HISTORY Overall: 1-3-1 • At Home: 0-2-0 • At NU: 1-1-1 • Neutral: 0-0-0
The Colonials are 1-3-1 against Northeastern in program history, with the lone win coming in overtime on Jan. 21, 2007 thanks to a Jessica Riley goal from her twin Jordan and Alissa Dorman. Two seasons ago, RMU tied the No. 7 Huskies, 3-3, in Boston behind the strength of a Kelsey Thomas hat trick. The Colonials last hosted Northeastern in 2010, with the Oct. 17 tilt being a part of the Pittsburgh College Hockey Showcase. In its first game at CONSOL Energy Center, RMU fell to the Huskies, 4-3. Cobina Delaney, Whitney Pappas, and Sara O’Malley all scored for the Colonials, who fell to 1-3-0 in games held at the Pittsburgh Penguins’ home arena.
SCOUTING NORTHEASTERN The Huskies are on the cusp of both the USCHO and USA Today / USA Hockey Magazine rankings, garnering 10 and 15 points from those respective polls. Northeastern has faced a full slate of CHA teams this season, earning a 4-0 victory at Mercyhurst and ties at Syracuse and RIT. Offensively, the Huskies are led by junior forward and U.S. Women’s National Team member Kendall Coyne, who has tallied four points (2g, 2a) in the early parts of this season. Senior goaltender Chloe Desjardins has played every minute between the pipes for Northeastern, posting a 1.44 goals against average and a save percentage of .943.
