Today RIT became...
2010-11 REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS!
[Crappy photo because none of the ones I took came out well. DAMN FINGER. They were doing this to celebrate. I'm also amused by Eckenswiller looking dejected to the left...]
This is their fourth title in their 5 years as a member of Atlantic Hockey. It was done with a 6-0 win Sunday at Canisius, so it was sweeet. The crowd was mostly RIT too! The RIT radio guy joked that it was "Ritter West". Shane, who is STILL the only undefeated goalie in D-I, now leads the nation in save percentage(.938) and goals against average(1.82). With the rest of the west fighting it out over the next 2 weeks for the 2nd bye, RIT can focus on prepping for the playoffs. It's a sweet spot to be.
More of an update about my weekend later :)
