Team Notes: Union Competes in RPI Tournament

The following article appeared November 25 on the Union Web site.

 

TROY, NY -- The last time the men’s hockey team was on the ice it skated to a 5-1 victory at Clarkson, completing the first Union North Country sweep since the 2002-03 season. After a week off, the Dutchmen are back in action to take on Lake Superior State on Friday, Nov. 27 at 4 p.m. at the Rensselaer Thanksgiving Tournament in Houston Field House. Depending on the outcome, the Dutchmen will either play RPI or Bentley on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 4 p.m. or 7 p.m.

Both contests can be heard on teamline.cc and on WRUC 89.7 FM with Matt Dubrey and Brian Unger ’93 on the call. Fans can follow the games via live stats at sidearmstats.com/rpi/mhockey or via video at B2tv.com.

There isn’t much history between Union and Lake Superior State or Union and Bentley. Friday’s game will be the first between the Dutchmen and the Lakers and if Union and the Falcons meet, it will only be the third time. However, if Union and RPI matchup on Saturday it will be the 73rd time since their first outing on Feb. 26. 1904. If the Dutchmen and Engineers square off, it guarantees that the two teams will face each other four times during the 2009-10 regular season.
