Taking a chance on picking multiple games against Nicole worked well for me, as I gained a game in our season picks race thanks to Boston College’s come-from-behind win in the Beanpot. Last weekend, I went 17-7-8 (.656), while Nicole went 16-8-8 (.625). On the year, I am 308-116-59 (.698), while Nicole is 305-119-59 (.692). This weekend, she has plenty of chances to catch or even pass me.<\/p>\n

\nCandace:<\/strong> I like the visitors in this. Colgate 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This should be a win for the Raiders. Colgate 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I can’t see Brown upsetting the Bobcats. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I expect Quinnipiac can take this one. Quinnipiac 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Clarkson has seemed vulnerable to upsets of late to teams it knows it can beat, but I think the Golden Knights refocus here. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Clarkson wins. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think St. Lawrence will want to set itself up well for the postseason. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m picking Harvard to get an upset win here. Harvard 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Even playing for their playoff lives at home won’t be enough for the Dutchwomen. Cornell 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Cornell takes this. Cornell 3-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> This is a tough one to pick, but I think the Tigers are stronger. Princeton 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This could be an interesting game, but I’ll take Yale at home. Yale 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Maybe home ice will help the Huskies. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m going with the Catamounts. Vermont 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I lean toward the Orange getting a sweep. Syracuse 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I think they’ll split this weekend. Syracuse 2-1, Lindenwood 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m really going all-in here in our season race. Penn State 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This is likely to be a split, as well. Penn State 3-2, RIT 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I like a split here, with Robert Morris putting themselves into position to claim the CHA crown. Mercyhurst 3-2, Robert Morris 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll have to go with another split, since neither team has shown they’re able to take control for two straight games. Mercyhurst 4-2, Robert Morris 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> A letdown after a Beanpot win wouldn’t surprise me, but I like the Eagles to sweep. Boston College 4-2, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I would not be surprised to see Maine take one these, but I think the Beanpot buoyed the Eagles quite a bit. I’ll pick a BC sweep. Boston College 5-3, 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Two very inconsistent teams make this one a bear to pick. Connecticut 2-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Merrimack needs to sweep to make the playoffs, but I’m not sure they can make that happen. I think this is a split. Merrimack 3-2, Connecticut 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Mavericks have surprised some teams of late, but I’m going with the Bulldogs. Minnesota Duluth 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I apparently think everyone will split this weekend. Minnesota State 3-2, Minnesota Duluth 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Picking Bemidji hasn’t done me any favors of late. Ohio State 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m giving OSU the advantage at home, but think Bemidji has a shot at a win here. Ohio State 3-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Even though I haven’t had a good handle on the WCHA compared to Nicole, I think home ice gains the Badgers a sweep. Wisconsin 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I honestly have no idea what to pick here, so I guess I’ll hedge it and pick a split. Wisconsin 4-2, Minnesota 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Tigers solidify their playoff position. Princeton 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Princeton wins. Princeton 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nNicole:<\/strong> Cornell take this one. Cornell 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Saints finish strong. St. Lawrence 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This should be the home team. St. Lawrence 2-0.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Raiders have too many weapons. Colgate 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Raiders take this one. Colgate 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think the Bobcats will just eek this out. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m going to pick Yale at home here. Yale 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> A split seems likely. Boston University 3-2, New Hampshire 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> A like a split. Boston University 4-2, New Hampshire 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Both teams are so inconsistent, so I’ll go with home ice. Providence 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take the Friars at home. Providence 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
