\nCandace:<\/strong> Minnesota State is getting closer to its first win in almost two years in the conference, but I’m going with the visitors. St. Cloud 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Huskies have had some great goalie performances so far and MSU doesn’t have great firepower. St. Cloud State 3-0, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> While I like Ohio State’s play so far, I still feel like Minnesota is on another level. Minnesota 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m tentatively really high on Ohio State and kind of low on Minnesota. I’ll go out on a limb and pick OSU to get one upset game at home. Ohio State 2-1, Minnesota 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Bemidji did beat Minnesota, when Duluth couldn’t, but I’m going with home ice. Minnesota-Duluth 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> For all the Beavers have improved, the Bulldogs have all the confidence in the world and are at home, so I have to pick them to sweep. Minnesota-Duluth 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Home ice wins. Boston College 3-2, Quinnipiac 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I can’t do anything but pick a split, with each team winning at home. Boston College 3-2, Quinnipiac 4-2 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m going out on a limb and picking Cornell to sweep, just because I think Mercyhurst has trouble scoring. Cornell 4-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> We’ve got no real read on Cornell yet and Mercyhurst looked great last weekend, so I’ll pick them for the sweep. Mercyhurst 2-1, 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Dartmouth isn’t what it used to be. Northeastern 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Northeastern wins. Northeastern 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Merrimack has done well early, especially last week against Maine, but I like how Robert Morris is playing. Robert Morris 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Merrimack in its second season, so I have to pick the split with Merrimack at home. Robert Morris 3-2, Merrimack 2-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Vermont could play spoiler, but I like St. Lawrence to sweep. St. Lawrence 4-2, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Saints have started strong and I expect that to continue. St. Lawrence 4-2, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace<\/strong>: Syracuse has been in a funk. I’m going with Colgate to sweep. Colgate 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This one’s maybe closer than it should be, but I have to pick Colgate to sweep. Colgate 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Connecticut burned me last weekend when I picked the Huskies to sweep, but I’ll try again. Connecticut 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Penn State’s been inconsistent and UConn is at home, so I give them the benefit of the doubt for a sweep. Connecticut 3-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> RIT hasn’t proven itself to me yet. Yale 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll call it a split. RIT 2-0, Yale 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Wisconsin has shown some vulnerability, but like the Badgers. Wisconsin 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I have to pick the number one team, even if I’m a little concerned about them finding the net and Lexie Shaw’s play. Badgers to sweep. Wisconsin 3-2, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Providence has shown signs of life, and I’m not sure about Princeton’s goaltending, but I’m going with Princeton to sweep. Princeton 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Providence are at home and Princeton hasn’t played yet, so I’m picking a split. Providence 2-1, Princeton 3-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> New Hampshire looked overmatched against Boston College, and this won’t get better. Clarkson 4-0, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Clarkson rebounds and takes sweeps this one easily. Clarkson 4-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Rivalry games are always intense, but I’ll go with Harvard. Harvard 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Going with the home team since we have nothing else to go on. Dartmouth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Northeastern beat BU pretty handily last week, so why not do so again? Northeastern 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Not much difference in these two teams, so I have to pick the home squad. Boston University 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
