Ready to Get Back in Action!

(RPI.edu)

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! I’ve been a bit remiss lately and never wrote after the Dartmouth-Harvard weekend (there really wasn’t a lot good to say there anyway) or after the Mercyhurst weekend. And with the Engineers off this past weekend, I let things slide even further to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

But other teams were in action for the last two weekends, including some ECAC matchups while RPI was playing Mercyhurst, and the Engineers will be back in action this weekend, so it’s time to take a look at our situation and our prospects again.

First of all, getting two wins over Mercyhurst was HUGE, although just as much for what didn’t happen as what did. For RPI to have lost both of those games would have dug a pit for their season prospects that would have been almost impossible to climb out of. Losing even one of those games would have left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths, theirs included, because Mercyhurst is a team of questionable prospects themselves. Winning both, however, sent a message that there is hope, and that RPI’s opponents – and their fans! – shouldn’t write this season off yet.
