Pittsburgh, Pa. – Ranked at a program-best No. 7 in both major national polls, the Robert Morris University women's hockey team will square off with College Hockey America (CHA) opponent Lindenwood and Skate for the Cure on Friday, Jan. 13 at 7:05 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 14 at 3:05 p.m. in 84 Lumber Arena.
 
Robert Morris (14-1-5, 7-0-1) swept Brown in its non-conference finale to close 2016 and enjoyed a bye week last weekend, while Lindenwood (4-13-2, 2-5-1) enters the CHA clash coming off a 5-1 loss to No. 1 Wisconsin. The Lions, however, have won three of their last six contests.
 
The Colonials have not suffered a loss since Oct. 21, and remain perfect at home. RMU is the only remaining team in NCAA Division I women's hockey with just one loss on their record this season. Additionally, Robert Morris leads the CHA standings by five points as the postseason rapidly approaches.
