It was another big win for the Icers on Friday night, despite a second period meltdown.
Freshman Andrew Duval, inserted into the lineup in place of the injured Mike Long, scored his first goal as an Icer in the third period as eleventh-ranked Penn State knocked off #6 Rhode Island 4-3 at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion.
Dom Morrone and Nick Seravalli had staked the Icers to a 2-0 lead in the second before the guys stopped skating.
Rhode Island scored three straight to take the lead, but Mike Broccolo notched his second of the season and second in two games to tie the game at 3 after 40 minutes.
That set the stage for Duval's game winner - another goal scored by someone getting into the dirty area in front of the opposition net.
Andrew's goal was witnessed by his dad, who caught a red-eye flight from Denver to make it to Hockey Valley in time to see the game.
Today is Alumni Day, with the accompanying Hall of Fame inductions and a special surprise. The guys will have to concentrate for 60 minutes and avoid going to sleep as they did last night.
With a win today and a sweep of Robert Morris next weekend, the Icers can claim a share of the ESCHL regular season crown. More importantly, it says here that a win today will cement their 20th straight appearance in the ACHA National Tournament.
Ninth-ranked Oklahoma helped the Icers last night with a 6-1 drubbing of #10 Oakland, while #12 Iowa State blanked Div. II Kansas 9-0.
This is the third straight weekend that the Cyclones have played a D-II squad. I'm not sure that will help their chances of making it to the dance, especially after struggling to win two last weekend against Colorado State.
