Holy Mackerel: RIT beat Mercyhurst 1-0 and then Mercyhurst beat RIT 4-0. No doubt lots of talent graduated in the CHA last year. It is really to bad PSU is not playing out of conference. Love to see a Cornell, Colgate, Northeastern, OSU on the schedule.
Celeste Gets her first win.

Some take a ways form the season so far. The Lions are playing to win as opposed of not to lose. The freshmnn influence here is huge. All the Freshmen get along really well and have known each other since u-15 national camp and have played each other in tournaments all the way up. Jessica Adolphsson is a BEAST the best part about her play is she is beginning to trust her D partners and you can see that she is more relaxed in her play even from the start of the year. Machaddo and Lannto received their clearance to practice on Friday so they will be in the lineup soon. How about walk on Carrie Byrnes three points this weekend and she is usually in the middle of scoring chances when her line is on the ice.
When Pomesberger gets back from injury they will be really deep and it will give coach Kampersall more options. Balance is the Key to competing with the blue bloods of Women's hockey. They have that right now. The other thing I am noticing is that the lions are drawing more penalties then they are taking. Granted a couple they took yesterday were obviously make up penalties like the one they took right after the second goal yesterday and the one after the goal got waved off. I chock that off to the reputation of the RMU coach and the lack of backbone of the crew. All in all these kids are really good.

Kampersal is getting his recruits in now and has made other rother adjustments. The team looks good and is starting to pull it all together. The program is winning more consistently within CHA and will start to garner national attention. The speed of play, depth of talent, and solid goal keeping will allow them to be competitive. They will certainly have to improve on power play efficiency and reduce the number of penalties; particularly at key junctures of the game. They can get away with average performance in these areas within CHA; not so much when you go up against top 5 teams in the country.
Zanon is a wonderful talent and the future is bright. She's received a lot of recognition in a short period of time and may be putting more pressure on herself to perform. Holding the stick too tight and missing wide open nets at times. You could see the relief on her face when she capped things off with the empty netter. Kid just needs to relax and play hockey.

Going to say two positives and one negative and one in between. Two wins on the road. D limited shots to 30 and 25. The negative is evidently faceoffs.
And the one in between is the first line was held in check both games yet the team still won. That bodes well for the team!

Penn State sweeps Robert Morris on the road by a score of 4-1! Penn State led the shots on goal by 41-26. Penn State played the last two minutes shorthanded on two penalties (Adolfsson took a 5-minute GM on a boarding call), and down 6 players to 3 with Robert Morris pulling their goalie. Penn State hadn't beaten Robert Morris since 2017, so this was impressive. If Penn State isn't ranked after this weekend, the polls are garbage. This is one quick Penn State team.

After two periods, Penn State is up 3-1 on two rocket goals from junior Jessica Adolfsson. Both teams scored a powerplay goal in that period. Penn State is up 29-19 in shots on goal. Robert Morris is a little lucky it's not more like 5-1, as Penn State missed a few golden opportunities to score.

After one period, Penn State leads Robert Morris 1-0 on a goal by freshman Maeve Connolly. Penn State leads the shots on goal by 11-10, both teams have one penalty, neither team has a powerplay goal, and both teams have four blocked shots. Neither team really dominated the period, but I think Penn State had the better chances. Robert Morris has Ariell DeSmett in goal instead of Raygan Kirk from yesterday's game.

Penn State beats Robert Morris 3-2 in a very even game. Shots on goal were 30-30, and both teams had all kinds of chances. Robert Morris did get some help with a couple of early whistles in front of their net in the third, but Raygan Kirk was solid in net for Robert Morris, as was Josie Bothun for Penn State. Kiara Zanon had a shorthanded breakaway in the game but couldn't finish it, and Penn State had a 5-on-3 in the third and didn't score. Overall a great game from Penn State for having not played in almost a month. Back at it again tomorrow at 2:00.
