The Zips (6-6-2) still have to take on the Buffalo Bulls (3-12-1) and arch rival the Kent State Golden Flashes (7-6-2) this weekend.

The Zips are going into this weekend with a three game win streak.
Goaltender Jeny Wolbert only let one goal get past her over the three game win streak. For the season Wolbert has 57 saves.
Jeny has been playing with a lot of confidence and her training has improved a 100 percent and that has paid off in games, Pfau said.
Another key player for the Zips this season has been forward Rachel Phillip who leads the Zips in goals with five and shots with 34.
She has had a great season and has created a lot of opportunities for herself, Pfau said. I have been very happy with her and her season, it is good that she has scored the last couple of games and hopefully she will finish out the season playing at that level.
Other key players for the Zips this season are Britini Back and Alysia Virkler who have two goals apiece, Ashley Hughes who have 17 shots, and Jordan Baranowski who has two assists.
As the season has progressed the Zips have improved offensively. The Zips scored four goals alone just this past weekend.
We have created opportunities and I believe we are now they are just going in, Pfau said But we still need to keep focused on offense, knowing that we cannot take that for granted.
Season stats for the Zips are 14 goals, eleven assists, 39 points, and 148 shots.
The Zips have one more home game this season on Thursday Oct. 29 against the Ohio Bobcats.
