We enter the final weekend of January with a few intriguing matchups on the docket. All games are at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n
Last Time:<\/strong> 8-2-2<\/p>\n Overall<\/strong>: 49-33-7<\/p>\n Friday, January 26<\/strong><\/p>\n Yale at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n When the last time these two teams met, the Golden Knights defeated the Bulldogs 4-1 in New Haven. Yale has been playing better of late since that Nov. 11 match-up. Clarkson looks to get back to their winning ways. Golden Knights win.<\/strong><\/p>\n Colgate at Dartmouth<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a big game for both teams as they are tied in the standings with 13 points each for fifth place. Scoring should come at premium as the Big Green are 50th in team offense in the nation while the Raiders are 52nd. Dartmouth has a winning record at home. The Big Green is victorious.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cornell at Harvard<\/strong><\/p>\n Another big game in terms of standings purposes as Cornell is tied in first with Clarkson at 21 points while the Crimson is in third with 19 points. This is a big game for the Crimson with their slow start. I expect another close game between these two. Harvard wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n Brown at St. Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bears only have two wins since Dec. 2 and this is a good opportunity to pick up their third against the Saints. With the way Brown is playing, St. Lawrence are hoping they can pick up their first conference victory. The Bears win.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, January 27<\/strong><\/p>\n Rensselaer vs. Union at Albany, N.Y., 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n The two rivals meet in New York\u2019s state capital for a non conference tilt. The two conference games early this year were close with the Dutchmen winning 4-2 and 4-3. I don\u2019t think that the third meeting will change that. The Dutchmen take the Mayor\u2019s Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n Brown at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bears had some success when they hosted the Golden Knights in Providence earlier this year as they lost 5-3. Before this past weekend, Brown was the last team to pot in three goals against Clarkson. Still I like Clarkson\u2019s chances. Golden Knights win.<\/strong><\/p>\n
