Penn State (3-7-3, 0-2-3 CHA) set out for its first conference win in its fifth conference game, as the team travelled to Pittsburgh to take on Robert Morris (7-4-2, 3-1-1 CHA). The Nittany Lions left the rink with a 2-2 tie, their third tie in five conference games.
Just past the halfway mark of the first period, the Colonials struck first as Amber Rennie cashed in on the power play. The Lions had a strong response following the Colonials goal, as the first few shifts following a goal are critical for momentum. First to make sure to not far further behind and secondly to try and get the goal back.
