Top Story

Robert Morris begins the search for its second College Hockey America (CHA) Championship

this weekend as the Colonials take on RIT in the CHA Semifinals. The Tigers advanced to the semifinal round after a two-game sweep (3-2 [OT], 3-0) of Penn State this past weekend in the CHA Quarterfinals. RMU has never faced RIT in the postseason, but are 3-1 against the Tigers this season and are 5-2 in their last three CHA tournaments.

Series vs. RIT

As aforementioned, Robert Morris is 3-1 against RIT this season. On Dec. 6, 2013, the Colonials

used the strength of two power play goals to earn a 2-1 win, then completed the sweep the following afternoon thanks to two unassisted tallies from Maeve Garvey in a 4-2 victory. Rebecca Vint played the role of hero on Feb. 14, as her short-handed goal was the difference in a 2-1 win. However, the Tigers bounced back to take the regular season series finale, 1-0, thanks in part to Ali Binnington’s 22 save shutout.

Scouting RIT

RIT is 18-15-3 overall and finished third in the CHA with a record of 11-7-2. Juniors Celeste

Brown and Ali Binnington were respectively named CHA Player and co-Goaltender of the Week after the Tigers’ two-game sweep of Penn State in the CHA Quarterfinals. Brown scored the game-winning goal in RIT’s 3-2 overtime win over the Nittany Lions in Game 1, while Binnington stopped 65 of 67 shots in the series and earned her sixth shutout of the season in the Tigers’ 3-0 Game 2 victory. Junior forward Marissa Maugeri leads RIT with 27 points (9g, 18a), while classmate Kolbee McCrea is the team’s leading goal scorer with 16 on the season. Binnington sports a record of 14-9-2, leads the CHA in save percentage (.940) and is tied for second in goals-against-average (1.82).
