RU Is Now RCU

 

     Rochester University is now known as Rochester Christian University.  The name change was made in the beginning of the 2024-2025 season.  The name change should help avoid confusion with the University of Rochester located in Rochester, New York.   

     RCU athletic teams are still known as the Warriors, and the school is still a NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) program.  The Warriors still compete in the WHAC (Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference).

     After 20 games, Eastern Michigan University is currently in 4th place in the GLCHL with 23 points, and an overall record of 8-12.  The Eagles host Davenport University tonight and tomorrow (7:30 p.m.) at the Taylor Sportsplex.  After 17 games, Rochester College is currently in 4th place in the Independent Conference with 17 points, and an overall record of 6-11.  The Warriors will travel to Kalamazoo tonight to battle Western Michigan University at Wings West Arena.  Click on the links below for more information about Eastern Michigan University hockey, Rochester College hockey, the ACHA, the GLCHL, or the Taylor Sportsplex.  You can always leave a comment, and you can email the Mitten State Sports Report directly at mittenstatesportsreport@rocketmail.com  Click on past months to view all of the Mitten State Sports Report's archived material.
