Union-Merrimack Links
The team is on the bus en route to Merrimack, the last game for the Dutchmen before winter break.
Union and Merrimack meet for the first time since 2004, and the first time at Lawler Arena since 2002. This will mark Union’s first meeting against a team ranked in the top 5 since facing No. 1 Yale at Messa Rink last season. It is Union’s first game against a top 5 non-conference opponent since taking on No. 1 Notre Dame (L, 1-3) on Jan. 2, 2009 in the Shillelagh Tournament.
