Weekend picks: March 1

CHC

Nichols vs. Morrisville
This was closer than Morrisville would like two weeks ago, but I think Morrisville pulls it out. Morrisville 3-1

Canton vs. Endicott
I expect Endicott to take this. Endicott 4-2

MIAC

Hamline vs. No. 5 Gustavus Adolphus
I’m picking the upset here. I think Hamline wins. Hamline 4-3

NEHC

UMass Boston vs. No. 1 Norwich
The Cadets are the top squad in the country for a reason. They’ll take this one. Norwich 4-1

NESCAC

Bowdoin vs. No. 4 Middlebury
This should be all Panthers. Middlebury 3-1

No. 9 Amherst vs. Connecticut College
This will probably be one of the closest games of the weekend, but I’ll take the Camels to win. Connecticut College 3-2

NEWHL

Oswego vs. No. 2 Plattsburgh
The Cardinals win. Plattsburgh 5-2

UCHC

Utica vs. No. 3 Elmira
Elmira should win this one. Elmira 5-2

Stevenson vs. William Smith
I’ll take the higher seed here, but I think this could be a toss-up. William Smith 2-1

WIAC

No. 10 Wis.-Eau Claire vs. No. 7 Wis.- River Falls
This might be the best game of the weekend. These two are as close as can be, with each having a win and a loss, and they tied in their third meeting. Either team could take it, but I’ll take Wis.-River Falls to win. Wis.-River Falls 5-4
