2013–14 RIT Tigers women's ice hockey season
College ice hockey team season
The RIT Tigers represented the Rochester Institute of Technology in College Hockey America during the 2013-14 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season . In only their second year at the Division I level, the Tigers won the CHA Tournament, defeating the Mercyhurst Lakers. NCAA rules prohibited RIT from participation in the NCAA National Championship Tournament, because teams moving to Division I have a two-year probationary period.
On December 14, 2013, RIT played Clarkson at Frontier Field, an outdoor venue in Rochester, NY.
