Bit of a surprise to see Johnson and Wales lose to Southern New Hampshire in the opening round of the Pepperidge Farm Tournament hosted by Worcester State.<\/p>\n<p>The Penmen rebounded nicely from a 6-0 loss on opening night at Plymouth State&#8217;s new arena, downing the Wildcats 3-1 and earning the right to face Western New England in the tourney&#8217;s championship game. The Golden Bears tied  Worcester State 3-3 but advanced to the final game thanks to a shootout. Here&#8217;s a glance at what&#8217;s on deck for this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday 11\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Assumption vs. Wentworth (Fitchburg Shootout): <\/strong> Assumption is 2-1 and already has one tournament title on its resume so far, as they knocked off Suffolk and Becker to claim the Becker Ice Breaker.&#160; Can they win another one? Not sure, but Wentworth has a lot of talent and I&#8217;d look for them to get their first win of the year. <strong>Wentworth 4, Assumption 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Franklin Pierce at Fitchburg (Fitchburg Shootout): <\/strong>It&#8217;s been a rough start for Franklin Pierce, as they sit at 0-4 and have been outscored 35-6. It&#8217;s Fitchburg&#8217;s home ice and tourney, so the Falcons are the pick here. <strong>Fitchburg 7, Franklin Piece 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Westfield State at Utica:<\/strong> Utica sits with a 4-1 record and received several votes in the latest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/rankings\/d-iii-mens-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USCHO Division III <\/a>men&#8217;s poll.&#160; Conversely, the Owls have a tie and and an overtime loss in their first two games. I think the wins will start coming for Westfield, just not at the Pioneers arena. <strong>Utica 5, Westfield State 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday 11\/13<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wentworth at Fitchburg (Fitchburg Shootout): <\/strong>This should be a good one, with the reigning ECAC Northeast and MASCAC regular season champions facing off against one another.&#160; The Falcons have the home ice advantage, but the Leopards should emerge in the end. <strong>Wentworth 5, Fitchburg State 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Franklin Pierce vs. Assumption (Fitchburg Shootout): <\/strong>Technically not an ECAC Northeast or MASCAC game&#8230; but what the heck. <strong>Assumption 4, Franklin Piece 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Johnson and Wales at Worcester State (Pepperidge Farm Tournament) <\/strong>The Lancers have a host of new, young players that should reap benefits down the road, but the Wildcats boast a potent offense that should propel them to a win. <strong>Johnson &amp; Wales 4, Worcester State 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southern New Hampshire vs. Western New England (Pepperidge Farm Tournament): <\/strong>The Golden Bears have gotten off to a good start and I see it continuing here. <strong>Western New England 5, Southern New Hampshire 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stonehill at Nichols<\/strong>: The Bisons broke through in a big way with ten goals in a win over Franklin Pierce.&#160; Stonehill beat J&amp;W to start the year, but has since lost to Becker and Suffolk. <strong>Nichols 5, Stonehill 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>UMass Dartmouth      at Suffolk<\/strong> : Only the second game of the year for the Corsairs as they look to rebound from a disappointing season in the MASCAC.&#160; <strong>UMass Dartmouth 2, Suffolk 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elmira               at Curry:<\/strong> This should be a good one, as Elmira travels to Curry, currently ranked No. 6 in the latest<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/rankings\/d-iii-mens-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> USCHO Poll<\/a>.
