The women’s hockey team is looking to bounce back from a couple of home losses last weekend, playing games tonight and tomorrow at Niagara.
The Red (2-2-0) hits the road for the first time this year as it faces off against the Purple Eagles (2-1-1) at Dwyer Arena tonight at 7 p.m.
Tonight’s game marks Niagara’s home opener. The Purple Eagles are off to their best start since the 2002-2003 season, when they opened the yar with a 3-1-0 record. After a loss and a tie to start the season, Niagara dominated Northeastern last weekend, 6-4 and 5-2, in consecutive wins.
The Red will need to contain the Purple Eagles’ high-powered offense, which is led by junior forward Ashley Riggs. Riggs has already tallied seven goals and one assist through just four games this year.
