After the inaugural weekend series between the two teams, Quinnipiac won the next seven games in the all-time series, which culminated in three season sweeps. Robert Morris has since won two of the last three meetings.

Scouting The Colonials
Robert Morris is currently 1-2-0 through its first three games, which include a 4-2 loss in their last time out against Air Force in an Atlantic Hockey match-up. The Colonials also played in this year's Mutual of Omaha Stampede, hosted by Nebraska-Omaha, losing to Colgate, 3-1, before defeating Mercyhurst, 2-1, in the consolation game. Trevor Lewis leads Robert Morris in goals (2) and points (3), while Ron Cramer and Colin South each have two assists on the year.

The Last Time They Met
