Four of the final eight games on the Owls’ schedule in 2015 will come against teams north of Pennsylvania.
Sunday, the ice hockey club defeated Canisius College, 6-5, from Buffalo, New York and the team is scheduled to play Syracuse University Nov. 13 and a pair of games against the University of Rhode IslandDec. 11 and 12.
“We definitely want to come in and be very mentally focused,” sophomore defenseman John Kumpf said. “Playing these northern teams is going to be a lot more difficult than what we are seeing. They are going to be fast-paced games with more hitting.
