Mercyhurst vs. Robert Morris
Dan: The Colonials really stuck out to me last weekend. Their style of play and their ability combine to be a hard-to-beat team. I could say the same about Mercyhurst, which means this will be a great weekend of hockey. The Lakers have been a little bit more uneven in winning games, so I’m going with the team that’s a hair ahead of them. RMU sweeps.
Chris: Virginia, there is indeed some college hockey this weekend, as these Keystone State rivals take turns playing host. I’m talking myself out of a Robert Morris sweep and think that the Lakers, who have been inconsistent so far, will be able to put together a winning 60 minutes in at least one of these games. So I’m going with an RMU win on Saturday and a Meryhurst victory on Sunday.
