It&#8217;s getting better. Last year, the opening weekend of the college hockey season saw Atlantic Hockey teams go 1-14 in non-league action, and that single win was in the consolation game of a tournament between two AHA teams. This season opened with a more respectable 4-8-2 record for the league, including wins over two ranked teams. Highlights included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rochester Institute of Technology&#8217;s 5-4 win over No. 3 Michigan<\/li>\n<li>Robert Morris&#8217; 4-0 blanking of No. 18 Quinnipiac<\/li>\n<li>American International&#8217;s 3-2 win against Penn State in the Nittany Lions&#8217; first-ever NCAA game<\/li>\n<li>Canisius&#8217; 3-1 victory against Alaska, making the Golden Griffins runners-up in the Kendall Hockey Classic in Anchorage<\/li>\n<li>Air Force earning ties against Alaska and Alaska-Anchorage in the same tournament<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully, there will be more to come for the league with some big games on the horizon: Niagara at Michigan State, Mercyhust at Ferris State, Bentley at Michigan and Air Force at Denver. Penn State visits RIT.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. Ben Meisner sure knows how to spoil a party. The senior goaltender led AIC to a 3-2 overtime win at Penn State, ruining it&#8217;s long-anticipated entry into NCAA hockey. Mesiner made 61 saves in the contest, setting both school and conference records for saves in a game.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Michigan coach Red Berenson has apparently introduced a new type of stat for college hockey: &#8220;unearned goals&#8221;. An obviously upset Berenson did not think his team played well in its opening 5-4 overtime loss to RIT. The Wolverines squandered a 3-0 lead and gave up three third-period goals to the Tigers. He said in his post-game presser that RIT&#8217;s goals were &#8220;unearned&#8221;. I think he meant that rookie goalie Jared Rutledge and defense was not up to snuff, but the only type of &#8220;unearned&#8221; goal I can come up with involves putting the puck unprovoked into your own net.&#160; That kind of goal shouldn&#8217;t count against a goalie&#8217;s GAA, if such a stat did indeed exist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three things from last week: 1.
