Women's

RIT vs. Washington & Jefferson (11/16)

In contrast to a strong beginning of the season for the men's team, RIT's women's basketball team is off to somewhat of a shaky start with a 1-1 standing after their 71-69 loss against Washington & Jefferson in the title game of the Penn State-Behrend Tip-Off Tournament.

Men's

RIT vs. Canisius (11/15)

After some disappointing losses, RIT's men's hockey team was able to put itself back on the boards this past Saturday, Nov. 15, on the road in a 3-0 shutout match against league rivals Canisius College. Playing incredibly defensively throughout the duration of the game, only allowing 19 total shots from Canisius, the Tigers pulled off a performance that makes their recent losses seem like a distant memory and points toward a hopeful rest of the season.

Fourth year Psychology major Jordan Ruby blocked all 19 shots he faced in a stellar game, while fourth year Business Management major Matt Garbowski scored big and brought the Tigers to a 3-6-2, 2-4-2 AHC record against Canisius' 4-5-3, 3-3-2 AHC. RIT ultimately out-shot Canisius 29-19.

RIT vs. Penn State (11/15)

RIT's women's hockey team (6-5-3, 1-2-1 CHA) played an impressive match against Penn State (6-6-3, 1-2-1 CHA) this past Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Gene Polessini Center, but ultimately lost 3-2. This loss marks the first time the Tigers have lost in 14 all-time matches against the Nittany Lions. Despite the disappointing loss, however, the Tigers still played a great game and pulled off some killer performances.

Fourth year Finance major Ali Binnington, who is currently playing her last season for the Tigers, pulled off a whopping 28 saves for RIT. Fourth year Sociology andAnthropology major Celeste Brown scored big for the Tigers coming off of a tremendous pass from fourth year Psychology major Kolbee McCrea.
