TROY, N.Y. -- As part of Greek Night, the Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute (RPI) women’s ice hockey team is teaming with RPI
fraternities and sororities for a canned food drive. Fans are asked
to bring a non-perishable food item to Friday’s game as the
Engineers take on Clarkson University at 7 p.m. at the Houston
Field House.
Admission to the game is free and a prize raffle will be held for
all those who make a contribution. Tickets for the raffle will be
distributed upon donation. All contributions will be delivered by
the Greeks to Joseph’s House & Shelter in Troy.
Rensselaer’s fraternities and sororities will also be
offering free hot chocolate to fans during the game.
In addition to Friday’s contest, the Engineers also host the
4th-ranked team in the nation, St. Lawrence, on Saturday afternoon
at 4pm. That game marks the first meeting of the season between the
two squads and the eighth all-time meeting.
Saturday’s contest will be broadcast live on WRPI, 91.5 FM,
and www.wrpi.org. Both games will feature live stats at
