Shippensburg, PA – Last weekend the Raiders were on the road with three huge games with playoff implications. In the first game the Raiders used a relentless offensive attack to bury Scranton and skate away with a 16-0 victory. In the second game, the Raiders took on #1 ranked Neumann College in a close back and forth battle before giving up the go ahead goal with two minutes remaining. Neumann would pot two more goals in the final minute, going home with an 8-5 victory. In the final game of the weekend, conference rival Temple was raring to go. Temple held a two goal lead heading into the third period before the Raiders ripped off five straight goals on the way to a 5-2 victory.  
 
The Raiders head into the weekend with a strong chance to win the Keystone Conference Championship. The championship would be the first in the six-year history of the team, and the first Keystone champion ever. The Raiders will win the Keystone winning either two games or by winning one game and have Slippery Rock lose one game. If the Raiders and Temple remain tied in first place, the Raiders would hold the tiebreakers with two wins this season, 3-1 and 5-2.
