PREVIEW! Six Teams Competing; One is Home

Though there have been a few schedule changes, there is still plenty of action for the Engineers with six programs in action this weekend. Women's hockey is the lone team in Troy as they host No. 9 Yale on Friday at 6pm. The game is free to attend, though being a member of the campus community who is compliant with the COVID-19 protocols is necessary. No external spectators are permitted. 

Women's basketball and men's basketball visit Skidmore and Vassar, while men's hockey is at Princeton and No. 2 Quinnipiac. Both track & field teams return to Utica, though not Harvard as originally scheduled.

Below is a summary of the contests and the links needed to follow them. Those interested in attending the games on other school's campuses should check on the host institution's attendance policy. Thank you and Let's Go Red!
