\nClarkson at Niagara<\/strong>
\nDan:<\/strong> Last year, this would’ve been a case for good team meets bad team. If we’re looking at preseason prognostications, there shouldn’t be much difference. With respect to Aerosmith, I can’t see a reason why the Niagara train can’t keep a-rollin’ all weekend long up in Potsdam. Niagara 3, Clarkson 1; Niagara 3, Clarkson 2<\/strong>
\nChris:<\/strong> Niagara took three of four points against Clarkson last season, but things could be different this time around as the Purple Eagles will be breaking in a pair of rookie goaltenders. I’m thinking split. Niagara 3, Clarkson 2; Clarkson 4, Niagara 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nColgate at RIT<\/strong>
\nDan:<\/strong> I legitimately had no idea how I was going to pick this game, so I boiled it down to the fact that I think Colgate’s defense is better than RIT’s offense to start the year. The Tigers really struggled with non-conference games last year. Colgate<\/strong> 5, RIT 3<\/strong>
\nChris:<\/strong> Colgate as gotten the better of the Tigers in eight of nine meetings between the two schools including a 6-3 victory last season. I don’t think that changes despite this being the first time the Raiders have played at Frank Ritter Arena. Colgate 3, RIT 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
