The only thing that seemed to keep the Royals in any of their games was the play of the goaltenders. Elliot Schafer was the best player for the opening match against Tufts while George Adams, the understudy, had a marvelous performance versus Bowdoin by making 75 saves. It's unclear how many games the team managed to play as the school's records cease after the match with Bowdoin.
