1/10 Recap: Foligno helps thrice; Knapp, 'Hawks upset

Marcus Foligno notched three assists on Sunday as Sudbury downed Oshawa, 7-4. The three-point night, Foligno's first since October 2008 and second of his OHL career, gives the banger nine points in his last seven games while improving his season line to 7-16-23 through 41 contests.

In the NCAA, Connor Knapp stopped 13 of 15 shots, but Miami only hit on one of their 39 as the #1 RedHawks were upset for the second straight game by unranked Robert Morris, 2-1. Both RMU goals came with the man advantage, with the first beating him five-hole and the game winner coming on a short breakaway. The loss lowers the sophomore's season record to 3-2-3.

The Colonials (5-12-3) entered the weekend with an all-time Division I record of 62-106-23, but executed well with strong goaltending from Brooks Ostergard (76 saves on 78 shots) to give Miami their first sweep of the season. The RedHawks (13-4-5) will look to regroup for next weekend's set at CCHA co-leader, Ferris State.

In the USHL, Mark Adams was -1 in Chicago's 3-2 loss to Waterloo.
