TROY – The task is easy for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s women’s hockey team; win at Cornell tonight (7) and at Colgate on Saturday (4 p.m.) and the Engineers will finish fourth —– perhaps even third — in the ECAC Hockey standings.

Either way, they will host an opening-round, best-of-three series in the eight-team league playoffs. It will be the first time RPI has played at home in the postseason in its five-year Division I history.

Reading the opening paragraph was as simple for you to read as it was for this writer to pen. Accomplishing the feat for the Engineers, however, will be a major chore. The only easy aspect, of course, is pointing out that they won’t need any help from another team if they win both their games.
