"There's no room for error."
That is the blunt assessment of Icers assistant captain Paul Daley following last weekend's sweep at the hands of the #4 Ohio Bobcats.
The Icers have now dropped 6 of 8 games to teams ranked above them (home splits with OU and Delaware and road sweeps by Ohio and Rhode Island). Penn State is now 5-4 on the road, but the road wins have come against Pittsburgh, Towson and West Chester.
The road to Newark and the national tournament is not going to be easy. There are two games each against Delaware and Rhody over the horizon, while this weekend the road trip heads back to Pittsburgh for the first two of four with the Robert Morris Colonials.
The Colonials, under head coach Dave Fryer, come into the weekend after taking two from Washington & Jefferson. Their record is now 11 wins against 10 losses.
On paper, this should be a weekend the Icers can bounce back; however, as Daley says, the Icers simply have to look at winning every game from now until the end of the regular schedule.
