The Engineers are almost always at the top of the standings come March, but they go into the 1994-95 campaign with some uncertainty in between the pipes.

Super-goalie Neil Little graduated last year, which leaves freshman Bryan Masotta and junior Mike Tamburro to fight for the starting job in net.

RPI has started off Dan Frigden's reign as head coach rather slowly with a 5-1 loss to Boston University and a 2-1 win over Merrimack. Former coach Buddy Powers abdicated in favor of the CCHA and Bowling Green.

The offense returns seven of its top ten scorers from last year, highlighted by Bryan Richardson, Craig Hamelin and Wayne Clarke. Nevertheless the loss of Ron Pasco, Xavier Majic and Brad Layzell will hurt up front.

The defense will be bolstered by three freshmen who stand over six-feet tall--Chris Aldous, Patrick Brownlee and Bryan Tapper. The youth will probably determine whether the Engineers can get to the ECAC Final Four.
