The Colonials, led by College Hockey America (CHA) scoring leader and reigning conference MVP Brittany Howard, have won three of four games to begin their 2017-18 season. Newly-named CHA Goalie of the Week Elijah Milne-Price has backstopped two of those victories for the defending regular- and postseason conference champions, including a 2-1 decision last Friday in a weekend split with host Maine.

Howard, the program's all-time points queen, became just its second player all-time to score 60 career goals in a 5-2 loss to the Black Bears Saturday.

Robert Morris visits Brown for another non-conference series Friday at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
