Saturday's 5-4 shootout win by Rhode Island may not have been the capper that the Icers fans and alumni were hoping for, but as Kyle Rossi so eloquently put it in his weekend recap,
The Icers were not on their game on Saturday, but they kept battling back every time Rhody took a lead. Dom Morrone's highlight reel goal that knotted the score at 4 was simply the play of the year, at least to this point of the season.
Unfortunately, Dave Macalino was the only shooter able to score in the shootout, giving the Rams the victory.
With ninth-ranked Oklahoma taking two from #10 Oakland this weekend, and with the Icers facing Bobby Mo at home next weekend, there is the possibility that Penn State could move up a spot in the next rankings that will be released on the 18th.
Barb and I had the pleasure of attending the Alumni dinner last night. Because of that and work commitments today (along with the length of time it takes to post videos to You Tube), I won't have the game highlights and Hall of Fame induction videos posted here until this evening at the earliest.
The dinner was an incredible event - making me wish I had video to post. Well, at least the PG-rated parts!
While the shootout didn't go the Icers' way, the fact that it came to that means that PSU, for all intents and purposes, "won" alumni weekend.
