Last weekend was a complete disaster for Miami, and now the RedHawks visit the team that beat them by a 19-1 aggregate margin when they traveled to St. Cloud State for a weekend series last February.

Preview: North Dakota at Miami
Looking at the schedule last summer, it was hard to imagine North Dakota would be in seventh place in the NCHC when it came to Oxford.

Preview: Niagara at Miami
The first-ever meeting between Niagara and Miami was nearly postponed.
