Air Force took the lead early in the game with one goal scored by the end of the first period. Brennan Sarazin, a third year left wing, crashed the net late in the first period, only to be stopped by Air Force's goalie Andrew Volkening in one of RIT's best attempts at scoring. Despite a brief mid-second period RIT rally, with an RIT power-play advantage of...

What do you do as a broadcaster for the hockey games? We volunteer our time at the radio station - we finished our 26th year just last month.
