Looking to continue its climb up the ranks of the ECAC Hockey elite, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women’s hockey team returns a solid core of veterans and a wealth of rookie talent to achieve its goals in 2008-09.

Among those returning for the Engineers, who went 13-15-5 in their second season as a member of ECAC Hockey, are ten forwards, three defensemen and three goaltenders. Seven newcomers, including four on offense and three blueliners join the team this fall.

Returning eight of its top ten scorers from a year ago, the Engineers feature a complete lineup with the talent and drive needed to compete at the highest level.
