Teams have handled a large turnover before and been successful, but the Nittany Lions can look within their own conference to find an example of a young team that didn&#8217;t fare very well (Wisconsin, the past two seasons). St. Lawrence, on the other hand, has seven seniors and eight juniors on its roster. The Saints compiled 19-14-4 record last year. Being at home the Nittany Lions have a chance to steal a game in this series, but I&#8217;m picking a St. Lawrence sweep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paula:<\/strong> The Saints warmed up last weekend with a 4-1 exhibition win over QC Trois Rivieres while Penn State beat Queen&#8217;s in exhibition, 8-0.  These teams met at the end of last October, resulting in a 2-2 tie and 4-2 St. Lawrence win.  I think that St. Lawrence will be very competitive this year and Penn State will need to find its footing, but I also think the excitement of opening night will carry the Nittany Lions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew&#8217;s picks:<\/strong> St. Lawrence 3-2, 4-2.<br \/>\n<strong>Paula&#8217;s picks:<\/strong>  Penn State 3-2, St. Lawrence 4-2.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll post the rest of our picks for the weekend tomorrow, along with our picks record from 2015-2016.
