So, where is the women’s hockey team at right now? Offensively, their goal scoring numbers are way down from last year. But their possession numbers are much better and scoring defense is significantly improved this year as well. That jives with what we expected to see with an infusion of blue line talent from the Olympics, and offensively the Eagles do seem like they’re starting to put things together.
This weekend the Eagles have a couple of road games on the docket against Holy Cross and Maine. Maine has been an early season surprise, flirting with the Top 10 last week and sitting just outside the rankings as the first team Also Receiving Votes this week.
