DeKALB — Hockey had a plethora of power play opportunities, but couldn’t make them count in a 6-1 loss to the Robert Morris University Eagles on Saturday night.
After taking six penalties and one game misconduct on Friday night, NIU played much more disciplined on Saturday, taking only three penalties.
Roles were reversed in game two, as Robert Morris took seven penalties, but the Huskies’ special teams couldn’t get anything going, scoring only one power play goal.
The Eagles spent much of the first period in NIU’s zone. This resulted in a goal on a 2-on-1 breakaway with 7:25 left in the period.
