PROVIDENCE MEN'S HOCKEY TO HOST
SECOND-RANKED MAINE ON FRIDAY
Friars battling to move up in HOCKEY EAST standings
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence men's hockey team will host the
second-ranked Maine Black Bears on Friday, Jan. 29 at 7:00 p.m. at PC's
Schneider Arena. With a No. 2 national ranking, the Black Bears are the
highest ranked team in any NCAA sport to play in Rhode Island this
year.
Maine enters Friday's game with an 18-2-4 record and a 10-2-2 mark in
HOCKEY EAST standings. The Black Bears are in second place in league
standings and have won six of their last seven games.
On Friday, the Friars will play their third consecutive game against a
nationally ranked team. Last weekend, PC split a two-game series
against
sixth-ranked Boston College. The Friars are in fourth place in league
standings with an 8-6 record and are battling to earn the final spot for
home ice in the HOCKEY EAST playoffs. PC, which has a 13-10 overall
mark,
has posted a 6-2 record in its last eight games.
Friday's game will mark the final regular-season game between the two
teams in 1998-99. PC will be looking for revenge after being swept in a
two-game series at Orono, Maine on Nov. 20-21. Last season when the
Black
Bears visited Schneider Arena, PC swept two games in the weekend series.
Tickets for the PC-Maine game are still available and can be purchased
Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the PC Ticket Office
in
Alumni Hall or by calling (401) 865-GOPC.
