In our preparation for the RPI-Princeton game, we overlooked the results of last weekend's games. On Friday night, Union came from behind twice to tie Rensselaer 2-2 at Houston Field House. Dan Fridgen was quoted in the USCHO article as saying, "I think it's a disappointing tie. We played hard enough, we played well enough to win the game, but give them credit, they're a good hockey team."

In the Saturday game, RPI beat Quinnipiac 6-3. The Engineers broke the game open with three consecutive third period goals. Quinnipiac is a member of the MAAC Conference.

Summing up the Quinnipiac game as well as the team's weekend experience, Dan Fridgen said, We certainly didn't have a stellar first period; we did a good job of regrouping in the second and kept coming at them in the third. We won two periods out of the three, losing one and that's a good weekend. We played five out of six periods this weekend and took three of four points."
