Rowan wins on the road

Rowan University Ice Hockey team continued their Great Northeast Collegiate Hockey Conference play this past weekend, traveling to Long Island to play CW Post Pioneers. Despite the long bus ride and having one of their defensenman out because of suspension, Rowan came out determined with scoring the first two goals. However in the midst of the action, the Profs lost a key player to injury which would result in Rowan being even more shorthanded on the bench. It seemed to spark CW Post as they kept pushing and made it close in the second period before Rowan found its breaks to head to the 3rd period up by the score of 4-2. In the third period Rowan seemed to be a little flat footed but still managed to be up by two late in the contest. CW post with some home calls managed to strike within one late but Rowan kept their cool till the end to win it by the score of 5-4. This Saturday night at 8:15 PM, Rowan plays their final home game before the Holidays against their rival College of New Jersey at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, NJ. The game will be telecast on Rowan Radio.

Rowan sustains an OT lost and rebounds vs Kutztown

Rowan traveled to Lehigh Valley to face Muhlenberg in their second meeting of the season. Although the Profs were victorious in their first meeting, they knew this one was going to be hard. With 4 key players sidelined do to injuries the Profs had to shuffle their lineup. Rowan took two leads during the game, a three goal lead in the second and two goal lead in the third, both times not being able to sustain it by struggling to play four-on-four and continuously forcing plays. The Profs had a great opportunity in overtime with a Fred Brewer breakaway but his miss turned into an odd-man rush the other way with the eventual game winner. The final score in the see-saw game was 9-8.

Their home game against Kutztown University saw another key player leaving the game early although Rowan kept up it's pressure to eventually win the game 9-2. Rowan still down from the night before defeat, they hope to turn it around when they face CW Post on December 8th. Rowan is now 13-2-1-1 overall and 7-0-0-1 in their conference.
