Playoff Picture - Air Force is in sixth place in Atlantic Hockey heading into the final regular-season series. The Falcons could finish as high as fifth, as Air Force is just three points behind the current fifth-place team, Robert Morris. If the Falcons finish fifth, they would have a first-round bye and would then travel to the fourth-place team. If the Falcons finish sixth, seventh or eighth, they would host a first-round series, March 6-8, at Cadet Ice Arena.
Scouting RIT - RIT is 18-12-4 overall and in fourth place in the AHA with a 14-8-4 league record. Last weekend, the Tigers split with Niagara, losing 4-1 on the road and winning 3-2 in overtime at home. The Tigers are 5-1-1 in their last seven games and are 9-3-3 at home this season. Senior Shawn Cameron leads the team with 17 goals and 27 points this season. Junior goalie Logan Drackett has played nearly every minute in goal for the Tigers and had a 2.75 GAA and a .907 saves percentage.
Series vs. RIT - Air Force leads the all-time series vs. RIT, 32-23-4. RIT swept Air Force, 2-1 and 1-0, in a series at the Academy, Oct. 24-25. In that series, Air Force outshot RIT, 80-22, in the series but Tiger goalie Logan Drackett made 79 saves to earn AHA Goalie of the Week honors.
