It's not a new look for the RPI Engineers, but definitely one they haven't seen in Troy in quite some time.

Sure, they started the season at a rather mediocre 10-10-1 overall, and 3-4-2 in what's proving to be a deep ECAC. Coming into the season, they were expected to finish anywhere from 8th to 10th, depending on which poll you put more stock in, and while they were on pace to do slightly better than that, no one could have predicted what turning the page on a new calendar would have done for the Engineers.

Since 2010 began, the Engineers are 6-3-2. Their goal scoring is up, and their goals against is down. They have two players in the top-10 nationally in scoring — including the top point-getter across the NCAA. They've won all-important games at Quinnipiac, Princeton, and swept the season series with Yale. And, most importantly, the Engineers have risen to fourth in the league, their highest position since finishing there in 2003-04.
