At least 3 comments from current and future RPI women's hockey players with the instagram picture.
I didn't find any other recruits signing, but I didn't look too hard.

Looks like she is a forward but with low scoring stats...not necessarily an indicator of how she will fare at the college level however. With Gruschow, Mankey and Wash graduating this year we are going to have some holes to fill in terms of offensive production next year.

Just so long as she doesn't try to ship her stuff to "RPI, USA".

At least she didn't try to spell Rensselaer.

RPI drops one to Dartmouth 4-0. Not a bad effort for the Engineers, but the top line for Dartmouth was dominant when they were on the ice. Good call by Burke to put Bombay in net at the end: Selander was very solid, as usual, but when you are down 4-0 its a good opportunity to give some players ice time and Bombay looked good.

Another very impressive outing for the Engineers today, although they lost at Harvard 2-1. Engineers had the edge in play in the second period, Harvard had the edge in the third. Shots were 33-27 in favour of RPI. Maschmeyer (back from Cdn national team duties) in net for Harvard was strong but Selander looked just as good for RPI. Interesting coaching strategy by Burke, that seemed to work very well: Harvard is well know for playing only 3 lines and giving their top line a ton of ice time, and most teams respond by also shortening their bench, but Burke started his third line in each period and gave everyone a lot of ice time. Every player on RPI responded with a great effort. This is a very different team from last year. You can see the confidence that they feel that they can play with anyone.
They credited the RPI goal to Godin but I'm pretty sure it was Tomlinson. The great thing to see was that we had three RPI forwards on the edge of the crease ready to bang home a loose puck.

Re: RPI Engineers '15-'16
So, there was a post on the Harvard thread that painted a picture of the Engineers as a team that plays a very rough, hard hitting style of hockey, lacking in skill. It is almost the exact opposite of my image of the team (and I have watched almost every game this year) as I see them as a very disciplined team that moves the puck extremely well and checks tenaciously. So, I decided to check to see if the stats support my view. RPI is indeed very disciplined: of the 35 Div 1 teams RPI is 30th in penalty minutes per game. Colgate every year seems to be the most penalized ECAC team and this year is no exception (4th of 35) and Harvard is the 4th most penalized ECAC team (18th nationally). And playing a good clean, disciplined and penalty free game is very important to RPI and not very important to Harvard. Why? RPI's biggest weakness the past couple of years has been special teams (currently 33rd out of 35 nationally) so a game with a lot of penalties is the last thing they need. Harvard, on the other hand has the nation's top special teams record, so a game with a lot of penalties feeds right into their strength.

No point weekends are no fun. RPI falls below the double line by a hair (they're less than a point behind Yale in 8th). Let's win some games.
RPI KRACH (RRWP): 66.68 (.4252)
MCTs (Mean/Median/Mode/Range):
Points - 18.87 / 19 / 19 / 5 - 34
Rank - 8.46 / 9 / 9 / 1 - 12
Playoffs - 45.4%
Most likely opponent - at Clarkson (13.5%)

Re: RPI Engineers '15-'16
The numbers seem pretty close to my gut feel from having watched the Engineers to this point in the season. Really good start for the team, but they will be in a tough four-team fight for the two final playoff spots, with Colgate, Yale and Cornell. Still too early to tell which of those teams will have the fortitude to grind it out to the end, but my money is on RPI to nab one of those playoff spots...and then anything is possible.
