Shootout Showdown

I wrote on Sunday morning that the Icers deserved a lot of credit for "battling back every time Rhody took a lead."

Unfortunately, Penn State was unable to get the go-ahead goal against Rhode Island and the Icers couldn't find a way to solve Rhody goalie Paul Kenny in the shootout.

Rhode Island's Dave Macalino was the only shooter able to beat Matthew Madrazo, giving the Rams a 5-4 win and spoiling the outcome of the Icers' alumni day game.

Now, the Icers have to prep for Robert Morris. The Icers took two from the Colonials last month. If they repeat that feat this weekend, they should secure their spot in the 20th annual ACHA national tournament.

The ticket to the dance likely will be easier to obtain after 10th-ranked Oakland was swept by #9 Oklahoma. The Golden Grizzlies face the tougher road, having to take on #1 Lindenwood this coming weekend.
