The Watcher's eye:
Watching Mercyhurst gives you a chance to see two of the best players to come into women's hockey out of Canada:Meghan Agosta and Valerie Chouinard. Agosta is currently 4th in the Nation in points (59) and she leads her team in goals (36) and is second in assists (23). Chouinard has posted 43 points on the season tallying 13 goals and 30 assists.
This series has always been dominated by Mercyhurst, but the Lady Colonials have made serious strides in their season as well as the program. It is not hard to say that the Lady Colonials could come away with a huge upset in Erie or at home this weekend, especially with the strong performances against #10 Wayne State two weekends ago.
If you look at the box score from the games early on in the season, especially the games against Mercyhurst, the Lady Colonials were having a hard time getting shots on goal, which ultimately lead to being defeated. Lately however, the Lady Colonials have been a force around the net, not only getting more shots on goal, but limiting their opponents shots. In the win at Wayne State, RMU out shot the Warriors 29-27, winning 2-1, but in the loss the next night (1-2) they were out shot 23-17.
