Series vs. Syracuse
The last meeting between the Colonials and the Orange came a little over two months ago when the teams split a series in Syracuse. Fueled by Kristen DiCiocco’s 31 saves, RMU earned a 2-1 comeback win in the first contest on Friday. Syracuse prevailed in the second game after sophomore Nicole Ferrara scored with 1:15 left in regulation to break a 3-3 tie. Sophomore Rebecca Vint led all Colonials skaters with four points in the two contests. With Syracuse sitting just three points ahead of the Colonials in the CHA standings, Vint looks to spark the Colonials offense once again this weekend.
