Falcons fall and so do their numbers.

I didn't think Air Force would go through the rest of their conference games without losing. This is why the RPI, PWR and KRACH don't mean much till after the first of the year and probably later into February and March. The Numbers change all of the time and mean little until you have played about 2/3 of your schedule. Even then the numbers can change drastically with a bad loss or a quality win. Losing to RIT would be considered a bad loss. Again nothing is won till ALL the game have been played out and the Brackets have been set. There is no award for winning the most games at the beginning of the season.

CHN: RIT forward Andrew Favot scored with 38 seconds left in overtime to lift RIT. Air Force suffered its first home loss and first conference loss of the season. The Falcons fell to 14-2 overall this season and 11-1 in the AHA. The win for RIT marked the highest ranked team the Tigers have ever defeated. The Falcons immediately dropped from No. 1 to No. 11 in KRACH, most likely a more reasonable assessment anyhow. “This was a gut-wrenching loss,” head coach Frank Serratore said. “The story of the game was our inability to score on the power play and our 5-on-3’s in the game. When you let a team hang around like we did, it is going to come back to haunt you. We played a lot better than we did last night, but our inability to convert on the power play cost us. The only thing you learn from losing is losing.”
