OXFORD, Ohio – The RedHawks are hitting the road this weekend to take on defending national champions, the North Dakota Fighting Hawks.

The team hopes to extend its current four game winning streak, however, away games have proven to be a sore spot for the RedHawks with a season record of 2-5-2 in away games. Senior Anthony Louis refuses to let those statistics get in his head.

Louis says they need to put those losses in the past and focus on the team they have become. “After winning four straight games I’m feeling pretty confident. We’ve finally started playing our team game which we got away from before.”

Louis has proven to be a valuable player for the RedHawks and he currently leads the team in points with 11 goals and 14 assists. Going into this game against North Dakota the RedHawks need its players, like Louis, to be focused and ready to perform against the team that is ranked seventh in the nation.

“As far as points go, I try not to worry about them or put any pressure on myself,” Louis says, “I just go out and play the way I know best and points will hopefully come.”

The puck will drop at 8:37 p.m. ET Friday with a back-to-back game at 8:07 p.m. ET Saturday. Watch the game here.
