The RIT Tigers Women's' Hockey Team represented the Rochester Institute of Technology in College Hockey America during the 2019-20 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. While Chad Davis still shaped his team in his second year, he was able to gain stability with a large influx of underclassmen.
