Players to watch
Ohio (8-3-0) is returning to Athens with a four-game win streak, but Miami (12-4-1) is on a winning streak of its own. Gabe Dombrowski and Michael McCormick lead the Redhawks’ offense. The dual-scoring threat isn’t new for the Bobcats’ defense as they successfully dismantled the top scorers at Robert Morris University and the University of Louisville. Ohio will also need to look out for defenceman Tyler Behl, forward Colin Hartwell, and forward Erik Miller. The three have combined for 30 assists. The Redhawks have also played four different goalies throughout this season. Noah Kinsinger leads the team with 128 saves, but Jack Roach doesn’t trail far behind with 99 saves of his own. The Redhawks can challenge the Bobcats by presenting different looks defensively.
