WHO: UMass-Lowell Riverhawks (1-1) at Miami RedHawks (3-1).

WHEN: Friday – 7:35 p.m.; Saturday – 7:05 p.m.

WHERE: Cady Arena, Oxford, Ohio.

ALL-TIME SERIES: UMass-Lowell leads, 1-0-1.

UMASS-LOWELL RADIO: Both nights – WCAP-AM (980), Lowell, Mass.

NOTES: Funny that this will be the first-ever meeting between these teams on one of their campuses.

They’ve met twice: Once in the Frontier Classic in Anchorage in the fall of 2003, a game that ended tied, 4-4, and again in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

The latter was a skate-to-the-throat 4-3 overtime loss that saw the RedHawks rally from three down to tie it only to surrender a goal in the extra session.

So in two all-time meetings, both games have gone past 60 minutes.

Miami might welcome a close contest, as each of its four games this season have been decided by three or four goals.

The RedHawks are coming off a third-place finish in the four-team Ice Breaker in Erie, Pa., that saw them drop a 4-0 decision to No. 5 Providence but handle host Mercyhurst, 3-0 in the consolation game.

The week before Miami swept an unimpressive Alabama-Huntsville team, outscoring the Chargers, 9-1.

The Riverhawks split their season-opening series vs. RIT, with both of those games decided by a goal. They won the opener, 2-1 but lost 4-3 in the finale.

Senior forwards Ryan Dmowski and Connor Wilson both went 1-2-3 the opening weekend and lead the team in points. Dmowski went 11-11-22 in 2017-18, leading the team in goals.

Kenny Hausinger scored twice vs. RIT. He scored 10 goals and set up 10 more last season.

Tampa Bay selection Ryan Lohin is the returning team leader in assists (16) and points (25), and freshmen Sam Knoblauch and Reid Stefanson have both scored in the team’s first two games.

Mass.-Lowell had three defensemen total at least 17 points last season but all were seniors. Croix Evingson and freshman Seth Barton have dished for two assists each, and Mattias Goransson has one helper.

Evingson was drafted by Winnipeg and Barton was taken by Detroit.

In net, Christoffer Hernberg was a stud last year with a 2.07 goals-against average and .921 save percentage. Ty Wall struggled in 12 games as his backup.

But last weekend Wall – a New York Rangers draftee – was 25-for-26 in a win while Hernberg suffered the loss, allowing five goals on 30 shots.
