Once they hit the ice, Union shot out of the gate and scored three goals in the first. Hyland finished off his hat-trick in the third but the team was unable to hold their lead and saw RIT answer every score. Bob Beale nearly netted the game winner in the waning moments of the match but a spectacular save kept the game tied. Due to fading light, no overtime was played and the two settled for a draw. Weather forced the postponement of the rematch with RPI and the team's next game required them to travel to Williams. The Garnet fought hard despite their lack of practice time but they were unable to overcome the early 2-goal lead by the Ephs.

Unfortunately, the absence of Bob Beale hampered the team's offensive ability while a broken skate for Jack Beale, his brother, kept an apt replacement out of the lineup for the first half. In that period, the team's defense was unable to stop the Engineers' offense and RPI rung up 3 goals in the first period. Rensselaer was then able to play defense for the rest of the match and skate away with a victory over Union.Union Pucksters Lose to Cherry and White https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19280214-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- The Concordiensis February 14, 1928 October 23, 2023 One bright spot was the appearance of Foster in goal for the Garnet. While the game started rough, he rounded into form as the match progressed and played a solid game in his first outing. Unfortunately, the weather didn't hold and the team was unable to get any on-ice practice heading into their game with Hamilton. Despite their handicap, the Garnet kept he game close and were tied with the Continentals entering the third. In the final period the lack of conditioning proved fatal and the Dutchmen surrendered 3 goals for the third consecutive loss.Hockey Team Defeated https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19280221-01.1.3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- The Concordiensis February 21, 1928 October 23, 2023 A few days later, Union ended its season with a 4–7 loss to Cornell with poor weather ruining what could have been a solid season.Sextet Ends Season Losing to Cornell 7-4 https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19280224-01.1.3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- The Concordiensis February 24, 1928 October 23, 2023 Roster yes John S.
