TROY, NY – The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
women’s ice hockey team, playing in its third season in ECAC
Hockey, will make its second appearance in the conference playoffs

Under the direction of sixth-year head coach John Burke,
Rensselaer posted a 16-13-4 overall record and an 11-8-3 mark in
