Happy NU is able to continue with league play today.

We need to string a couple of wins together. Let’s hope the purps can get it done on home ice today. I wonder if JL will rotate the goalies and start one of the vets over Corsi .

Hockey drubbed by Robert Morris

The struggles continued Thursday for NU hockey, which fell 6-1 to Robert Morris at Dwyer Arena.

The Purple Eagles (1-5-2, 0-4-2 Atlantic Hockey) lost their fourth straight in regulation, and fifth straight if you include a shootout loss to Mercyhurst on Dec. 16.

The first period Thursday was relatively even until the Colonials (6-3, 4-1) got on the board with 33 seconds left. RMU scored twice in a 55-second span in the 12th minute of the second, then blew the games open with another late tally, this time with just 2 seconds until the second intermission.

Niagara has been outscored 36-23 on the year, giving up an average of 4.5 goals per game. It'll try to right the ship Sunday and Monday, when it hosts Air Force
