Syracuse will skate against Post University this weekend at Tennity Ice Pavilion in the first contests between the schools. The Orange are 4-0 in College Hockey America play for the first time in program history. The Orange swept RIT in a home-and-home series and won a pair against Lindenwood at home. One other 'Cuse team started the conference slate unbeaten in its first four games. The 2012-13 team started league play with a 3-0-1 mark, with two wins at Penn State and a tie and a win against RIT in a home-and-home series.

The Orange were scheduled to play a two-game series at Mercyhurst last weekend but the series was cancelled due to the major snowstorm that hit Western New York.
