It was East vs. West last weekend with five two-game series played, each pitting a team from the East scheduling pod against the West. The West came out on top, sweeping three series and taking three points in another.<\/p>\n
Only the Army at Air Force series resulted in a split, with the Falcons taking a commanding 5-1 win<\/a> on Friday and Army getting off to a fast start on Saturday and withstanding two Air Force comebacks for a 5-4 win<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bentley was the only other East pod team to get a point, as the Falcons opened a 3-1 lead over Rochester Institute of Technology and then settled for a 3-3 tie<\/a> on Saturday. The Tigers won 4-1<\/a> the night before.<\/p>\n Niagara cut into RIT’s lead in the AHA standings by sweeping American International 3-2<\/a> and 3-1<\/a>. Bryan Hacyk (4) and Paul Zanette (2) accounted for all of the Purple Eagles’ goals.<\/p>\n Robert Morris kept pace with a 3-1<\/a>, 4-2<\/a> sweep of Connecticut. Nathan Longpre had a goal and an assist in each game.<\/p>\n Mercyhurst took all four points from Holy Cross, with both games going down to the wire. The Lakers won 3-1<\/a> on Friday with an empty net goal, and needed a comeback and overtime to get a 3-2 win<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n In non-conference play that included a rare Monday afternoon game (hence the lateness of this blog entry) Canisius dropped a 7-3 contest<\/a> to Quinnipiac on Sunday and then tied the Bobcats 2-2<\/a> on Monday thanks to a 42-save performance from Golden Grifffins goaltender Tony Capobianco.<\/p>\n My guest analyst Nate Lull and I both had good weekends, which yours truly coming out on top 9-1-2 to Nate’s 7-3-2. I improved to 70-41-13 on the season and am now 7-4 so far picking against my guests.<\/p>\nHow’d I do?<\/h4>\n
