Yep.  Way back in 1993-94, Brown last swept RPI.  :-)
 
The only other time that Brown beat RPI twice in one season was in 1981-82,
one of those being in the RPI Tourney.  Of course, prior to 1984-85, RPI
and Brown never played two non-Tourney games in the same season.  So unless
you count one-game sweeps, this is the third time that Brown has swept RPI.
(That is, unless they meet in the ECACs this year which is unlikely but
possible.)
 
When I was an undergraduate, RPI's band played the Alma Mater at the start
of the third period after the teams returned to the ice.  It was a great
tradition.  At some time (can't even pinpoint the decade), the NC$$
decided that this was an unnecessary delay of game, and RPI was forced to
play the Alma Mater prior to the teams returning to the ice.  Sure seems
like a lesser offense than throwing dead rodents on the ice.
