It&#8217;s hard to do anything but pick the home team in each game. <strong>Hamline 2-1, Gustavus Adolphus 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 2 Middlebury at Hamilton<\/strong><br \/>\nHamilton is a tough place to play, and the Continentals are a dangerous team, but I have to favor the Panthers to just get the sweep. <strong>Middlebury 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Feb. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 4 Elmira at Neumann<\/strong><br \/>\nNeumann is one of the better teams in the UCHC, but Elmira has too much depth and should be able to get the win, as long as the Soaring Eagles don&#8217;t look ahead to Sunday&#8217;s game. <strong>Elmira 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday-Sunday, Feb. 1-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lake Forest at No. 6 Adrian<\/strong><br \/>\nA big series between the top two teams in the NCHA. Lake Forest has a good record in the conference, but hasn&#8217;t done so well against ranked teams.
