The University of Rhode Island Rams, will be excited to host fellow Division I competition Northeastern, Stony Brook and Hofstra into town for what should be some exciting action.
Rhode Island starts the weekend against Division I rival Stony Brook at 3:00 pm. Last season the teams met a total of four times, with Stony Brook winning the series 2-1-1. All four contests were decided by less than 2 goals.
Up next for Rhode Island is Hofstra University at 7:00 PM. Hofstra has dominated Rhode Island, winning 10 straight game dating back to a 5-4 victory for Rhode Island at the 2010 Regional Championships. Hofstra took last weekends meeting between the two teams, using two third period goals by Jefferey Stern (3g, 2a) to earn a 7-3 victory.
Rhode Island will close out the home portion of their schedule on Sunday morning against Division I newcomer Northeastern. The two teams haven't met since 2/17/07, a 12-2 victory for Rhode Island, who has won the last 7 meetings between the two schools.
In addition to the Division I teams, seven Division II teams will be in town, including Buffalo, UMass, Farmingdale, Baruch, Binghamton Boston and Vermont. In the B Division, three teams will take to the floor, Northeastern, Hofstra and Stony Brook.
