While the effort hasn&#8217;t been totally unexpected, Harvard seems like a team that should be better than its record may imply. The team is ranked seventh in the country, and the Crimson&#8217;s 6-1-3 record certainly doesn&#8217;t scream disappointment. But results like the 4-4 tie to struggling Union and a 4-1 loss to Quinnipiac do raise red flags. Nevertheless, Harvard&#8217;s appearance in the Mariucci Classic should be a cake walk against three unranked opponents.<\/p>\n<p><b>Picks:<\/b> Friday &#8212; Harvard 6, Ferris State 1; Saturday &#8212; Harvard 4, Minnesota 2<\/p>\n<h4>Dartmouth, Union at Ledyard Classic<\/h4>\n<p>Both Dartmouth and Union have struggled in their first-half performances, the former much more so than the latter. Dartmouth is 3-7-1 in 11 games, posting an abysmal 42 goals against. Some of the Big Green&#8217;s losses have been uglier than others, including a 7-0 loss to Michigan and a 6-2 loss to Quinnipiac. Union, on the other hand, seems to have at least leveled the ship heading into its holiday break. The team sits at an even 7-6-4, has won its last three contests and is 4-1 in its last five. One of those victories, on Dec. 5, was a 3-0 shutout of Union&#8217;s hosts this weekend. Lucky for Dartmouth, the Ledyard Classic won&#8217;t house a rematch.<\/p>\n<p><b>Picks:<\/b> Saturday &#8212; Union 3, Merrimack 2; Robert Morris 2, Dartmouth 0; Sunday &#8212; Union 4, Robert Morris 1; Merrimack 5, Dartmouth 0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a look at ECAC Hockey teams in holiday tournaments this weekend: Harvard at Mariucci Classic The Crimson finished their first half with a 3-1-2 stretch, including two straight ties to Union and Rensselaer.
