Nicole and I both got off to a good start, going 20-5-2 (.777). I got one up by picking Ohio State to win a game over Rensselaer, and she got it back by picking Minnesota-Duluth to beat Boston College.<\/p>\n

\nCandace:<\/strong> I don’t think the Wildcats have enough to threaten the Terriers. Boston University 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I expect Victoria Hanson to be a crucial part of the Terriers season and I think she blanks UNH here. Boston University 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Like Nicole, I’ll probably pick the Bobcats every weekend. Quinnipiac 3-0<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I think I’m picking Quinnipiac until they show me a reason to do otherwise. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Bemidji has given the Gophers fits in recent years, but I don’t think home ice is enough. Minnesota 3-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Beavers impressed me last weekend, so I think they push Minnesota, but the Gophers’ experience puts them ahead. Minnesota 3-1, 2-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Fighting Hawks looked good last week against Pennsylvania, and while St. Cloud is improved this year, I think UND gets the sweep. North Dakota 3-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Both teams are finding their footing, but Crosby made some great stops last weekend. I think SCSU might be able to take one of these. I call it a split. North Dakota 2-1, St. Cloud State 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Bulldogs are at home, and sky high after last weekend’s results against BC. Minnesota-Duluth 3-1, 3-1
\nNicole: No team is more confident than the Bulldogs right now. Minnesota-Duluth 3-0, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Ohio State played well last weekend, but Wisconsin is in another league than RPI. Wisconsin 4-0, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I underestimated OSU last weekend, but the Badgers are a much tougher opponent. I expect a closer series than in year’s past, but Wisconsin is number one and so good at home. Wisconsin 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Raiders opened strong last weekend, and I think that continues. Colgate 3-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Merrimack looks improved in their second year, but I’ve got Colgate as my “dark horse” pick this season. Colgate 4-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Northeastern was awful last weekend. If the Lions still had Nicole Hensley, I’d pick them, but they don’t, so I think the Huskies win two close ones. Northeastern 3-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Last weekend wasn’t the start the Huskies were looking for. I expect them to sweep, but for Lindenwood to keep it close. Northeastern 2-0, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Hard one to pick. Neither team looked good last weekend. RIT 2-1, Providence 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Low scoring affairs, but Providence sweeps. Providence 2-0, 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Engineers didn’t look great last week, and I think the Colonials get the sweep at home. Robert Morris 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I had higher hopes for RPI opening weekend. I expect a split here. Rensselaer 3-2, Robert Morris 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> St. Lawrence looked impressive last weekend, so I go with home ice in each. St. Lawrence 2-1, Clarkson 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Saints impressed last weekend, scoring 11 goals and taking two from Northeastern, but Clarkson is still the odds-on favorite for the conference title. I’m taking a flyer and picking St. Lawrence to get a tie at home before losing on the away leg. Tie 2-2, Clarkson 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Dutchwomen will get a win at some point, but I don’t see it happening this weekend. Penn State 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Penn State played Clarkson closer than I thought they would. I think they sweep. Penn State 4-0, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n(3) Quinnipiac at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I don’t have enough faith in UNH yet. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> See above. Quinnipiac 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Boston College should come out guns blazing, and get two wins. Boston College 4-1, 409<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> BC needs to bounce back, but Maine kept it close against Quinnipiac last weekend. BC gets the advantage at home. Boston College 4-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers get off to a strong start. Boston University 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I haven’t seen enough of Vermont to pick against BU. Boston University 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
