Hey everyone, Hope you're all doing well and are able to keep warm in these colder temperatures. This will be my last entry for before we all head home for break. We've had some tough lifts and spirited practices this week in anticipation for Western Michigan.We leave Friday morning at 6:00am to start our 12 hour trip to Kalamazoo, Michigan. Originally, we were thinking of potentially leaving Thursday night around 12am and just driving through the night but we decided against this. They say that the most important night of sleep before a game is two nights before the game, so with that in mind, we decided it'd be better to sleep in our own beds Thursday night. We don't know much about our upcoming opponents but we know these are two very important games for us. We feel it's important for us to end before the break on a high note.
We were able to take care of business against AIC and Army last weekend but Western Michigan will likely be a tougher test for us. Out of conference games are important for the pairwise ranking system which determines which teams will receive an automatic bid for the NCAA tournament. So far our out of conference record is pretty good so we're looking forward to keeping that going.
Playing opponents back to back nights is not something that we experience in the ECAC but something that other leagues do. The only home and home we play is against RPI so playing Western Michigan back to back will be an interesting challenge. We're all excited and looking forward to getting the sweep this weekend! Thanks for reading and I hope everyone enjoys the holiday season!
