The Hockey team is hoping to pass Saint Lawrence University in the ECAC standings, who are currently in fourth place.  The top four teams get a bye on the first round of playoffs.

Last weekend, the team managed a 3-3 tie from behind against Saint Lawrence(they were losing 2-3 in the third), and eked out a 2-1 win over Clarkson (who were beaten 11-2 by Union the night before).

RPI is looking for a pair of wins this weekend against Harvard tonight and Dartmouth tomorrow, who don’t have a great record.  According to the Troy Record article, the teams have combined to win  just 12 out of 46 games.  Harvard is on a two-game losing streak and Dartmouth stands 11 out of 12 teams in our conference.  The engineers are 6-5-1 on the road.

The Engineers’ season has been filled with close games.  They have outscored their opponents 89-82 overall but 48-36 in conference play.  Of the Engineers’ conference losses, 4 out of 6 have been by just one point (with another 3-1 loss against Union that was 2-1 until an empty-net goal).

RPI tied 3-3 the last time they played Harvard in a heart-breaker which included a Harvard goal with 2.3 seconds remaining in the third period, and they beat Dartmouth 2-1.  The Engineers certainly hope to beat both teams this time around
