BOSTON - Two Atlantic Hockey America (AHA) programs earned weekend sweeps over their opponents, RIT split and (RV) Mercyhurst fell in its series finale after tying No. 8/9 UConn.
Freshman netminder Maddy Campbell earned her second career shutout in as many career games started. For the second consecutive game, freshman forward Matilde Fantin tallied three points (1G-2A), leading No. 6/6 Penn State to a 5-0 win. The Nittany Lions became the first team to reach 10 wins this season (10-0-0 overall, 6-0-0 AHA).
After netting two goals in the contest, including the game's first, senior forward Katelyn Roberts tied with senior forward Maddy Christian for the second most game-winners (3) nationally in the current campaign. Senior forward Tessa Janecke extended her point streak to eight games this season with 14 (7G-7A) in that span, tied for the second-longest active in 2025-26.
After falling at home on Friday, RIT traveled to Syracuse, N.Y., to give the Orange a taste of their own medicine. The Tigers split the series thanks to three different goal scorers and a multi-point effort from junior forward Linda Rulle (1G-1A).
Senior goaltender Sophia Bellina made 28 saves in the contest, bouncing back from four goals allowed in the previous matchup.
Robert Morris repeated Friday's result and beat Delaware 5-0 at Fred Rust Ice Arena to earn a sweep and outscore the Blue Hens 10-0.
Also, for the second straight game (and third time this season), sophomore forward Jessica MacKinnon recorded three points (2G-1A). This marked the first multi-goal game of MacKinnon's career.
Robert Morris earned back-to-back shutouts for the first time since Feb. 2021.
At one point on Saturday, Mercyhurst tied the game against the Huskies, making it 2-2. However, just over a minute later, UConn jumped back in front and was able to tack on another to extend its lead 4-2.
A late goal from graduate forward Jessica Ciarrocchi made it 3-4, but that was the end of the offense in the contest and reflected what now shows in the box score.
