WATERBURY, Conn. – The Post University women's ice hockey team has announced it will enter into a scheduling alliance for the 2017-18 season with five other NCAA programs including Holy Cross, Sacred Heart, Franklin Pierce, St. Anselm and St. Michael's

"With the announcement of this alliance, our program begins an exciting step forward in our young history. The 20-game schedule next season will allow us to challenge ourselves against well-established programs, along with playing for a year end championship," said head women's ice hockey coach Heath Isaacson.
 
The Eagles will face fellow scheduling partners four times each throughout the regular season, for a total of 20 league contests, leaving room for several nonconference contests to complete a full slate of NCAA games.
 
The alliance will award Players of the Week throughout the season and will sponsor a postseason tournament for all six institutions, with seeding based on regular season standings. The league's tournament will take place the week of Feb. 19 and will crown a champion on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2018.
 
The league schedule will kick-off Oct. 20-21 with Post traveling to St Michael's. The Eagles first home league contest will be on Nov. 4 against Sacred Heart.
 
The final and official 2017-18 women's ice hockey schedule will be published at a later date once all games are solidified.
