An interesting fact.  I looked through the RPI media guide from last year,
and the only current Div-I teams RPI has never faced are Ferris State and
Northern Michigan.  I think that they have also not played some other western
teams since those teams became Div-I.  RPI also never faced Kent and finally
met UIC at the last opportunity in 12/95.  Anyone else with information on
other matchups that have never occurred?
