This weekend, Colgate and Cornell travelled to Houston Field House and handed the men's hockey team two losses. On Friday night David Cann made 28 saves to lead Colgate to a 3-0 victory. This was Cann's third career shutout. Kevin Kurk also made 28 saves for RPI.

Rensselaer reportedly dominated the action in the second period, but was unable to break through for a goal. Colgate scored all three of its goals in the third period. RPI coach Dan Fridgen said, "I thought we played really, really well too. I thought we played a solid game and the opportunities were there. You know, again it comes down to a bounce here or there, and they got one off a faceoff. And the puck went through a couple of legs on the second goal."

Saturday, RPI battled back from a 3-1 deficit after two periods, but still fell short of #4 Cornell, 3-2. Nick Economakos and Kirk MacDonald scored for the Engineers. Nathan Marsters made 21 saves in the net for Rensselaer.

Cornell coach Mike Schafer said, "It was a real good win for us without being 100 percent healthy. I thought RPI played real well, they did a good job for the game."
