On Friday, December 7 in a rematch of last year’s College Hockey America (CHA) Tournament Championship game, the Colonials repeated its play from the championship contest to skate to a 3-1 victory over No. 4 Mercyhurst. Sophomore forward Rebecca Vint led the RMU scoring effort with one goal and two assists. The multi-point effort is Vint’s sixth of the season and third straight for the forward. The Colonials would get on the board first at 11:28 of the first period when junior forward Kristen Richards scored her fifth goal of the season on a RMU 5-3 power-play advantage. After shots from Vint and senior forward Kelsey Thomas and a scuffle in front of the net, Richards buried a rebounded shot from the right of the crease to put RMU up, 1-0. The goal is the first power play goal of the season for Richards while the assists mark the eighth and ninth of the year for Vint and Thomas. Sophomor forward Katie Fergus would tally the second goal of the contest on an RMU power play after Mercyhurst tied the game 1-1 in the first period. Junior assistant captain Thea Imbrogno notched the primary assist on the goal with Vint receiving the secondary assist.
