The RPI engineers faced off tonight against UNH in the Houston Field House. The entire game was poorly played, ending in a 6-3 victory for UNH. The most important fact about this game is that RPI only managed three (yes I did say three) shots on goal in the second period. Other than a short period of time in the third period did RPI put any pressure on UNH, when they rallied from 4-1 to 4-3 in a matter of minutes. The game was typified by both teams playing sloppily, and most of the goals were the result of defensive letdowns. RPI tallied first during the first period, scoring on what appeared to be a "weak" goal. The puck barely dribbled over the UNH keeper during a scramble in front of the net. UNH then struck back by scoring two goals before the end of the period, one of them shorthanded. The second period saw UNH score another shorthanded goal in addition to a pretty passing play to leave UNH leading 4-1 after two. RPI players seemed to be lazy, being out hustled on both ends of the ice. RPI then countered by drawing within one goal 4-3. UNH then scored to make it 5-3 after which they scored an empty netter to finalize the scoring. NOTES: UNH seemed to capitalize on nearly every 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 break they had. They passed excellently and finished off any opportunities granted them. RPI, on the other hand, committed many passing errors and showed a general lack of hustle and "grind". -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | James Ross | 61 Colvin Circle Rensselaer Poly...whatever (RPI) | Troy, NY 12180 Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | (518) 276-8964 ________________________________________|______________________________________ LET`S GO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
