Jayson Moy reports on USCHO.com that Mark Cavosie's scored two goals and assisted on a third to lead RPI to a 6-4 victory over the sixth-ranked University of New Hampshire. This was the home opener for RPI, in its 100th anniversary year of interscholastic hockey. Sophomore goaltended Kevin Kurk made 31 saves for the Engineers.

In its article, The Times-Union pointed out that Cavosie changed his sweater number for the third time at the beginning of the season. It is unlikely that any varsity hockey player at RPI has ever undergone so many number changes in a career.
