Mercyhurst has had a ton of turnover the last couple of seasons, so the edge in experience goes to RIT. My guess is that the Lakers are a work in progress at this point. I certainly don't expect anything like the many-to-nothing scores that were common in early Lindenwood games last year.

I have to say, as someone who has been going to RIT Women's games for quite a few years, tonight was one of the best regular season games I can remember. Gone are the days of boring blow-outs. We're finally going to get real competitive and exciting Women's hockey all season long, and it's about darn time.
As for the game play, after a shaky start from the team and the goalies, RIT recovered nicely and figured out just how physical the refs were going to let them be. They managed to hold Mercyhurst to just about the same amount of shots through the last two periods as they had in the first. And when RIT was really skating, Mercyhurst got caught chasing.
Overall, there are a ton of positives to take away from tonight, and I'm glad I was able to be there for the first official RIT D1 game.
Tomorrow afternoon's game should be a lot closer so long as RIT still has any legs left.
Oh, and Freshman Carly Payerl looks like the real deal.

What did I say that was incorrect? Have the Lakers not had a lot of turnover the last couple seasons? Do they not have more young players than RIT? I'd say any young team is a work in progress in week one (yes, including my team.) Was the score 14-0, 13-0, 11-0? No? I stand by what I posted. As for a team bond, September is pretty early to tell.hmmmm maybe jumped to conclusion to quickly???...MU has a full roster of very strong players and a team bond stronger than ever

6-2 MU. It was 4-0 after 1. Makela was in net.

RIT got outplayed today. They didn't capitalize on their 5-on-3's. They looked good the first period, but looked tired and weren't playing well in the 2nd and 3rd. It will be an interesting season though.
yaaaaaah...maybe you are right...game one just a fluke..wouldn't be because MU has a solid team...game two should prove that...oh wait...how many 5-3 man advantages for RIT??? shots?? final score????
