- The fourth-place Crusaders have fallen back a bit in the past two weeks, as they carry a four-game losing streak into the weekend. However, all four of those losses were by a single goal, with two coming in overtime - These two teams have not met since a twogame series on Neville Island in Nov. 2013, which yielded a win for each side. RMU has played just four games all-time at the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass., going 2-1-1 - After facing back-to-back teams with topend offensive stars in Bentley and American International, RMU will square off against a more balanced attack this week. Holy Cross’ top scorer is junior defenseman Jake Bolton (6g, 9a), while he and three other players are tied for the team lead in goals - Under first-year head coach David Berard, the Crusaders have been quite stingy, allowing just 2.22 goals against per game, the top mark in Atlantic Hockey. In league games, Holy Cross is even better, sporting a 1.94 GAA - Senior goaltender Matt Ginn has been a huge part of the Crusaders’ defensive success, stopping over 93 percent of the shots he’s faced in 21 starts. However, freshman Paul Berrafato played both games last weekend against Mercyhurst, so Ginn’s status remains uncertain entering the series with RMU
