Neumann threw me a curve before Thanksgiving.  I had picked the Knights to beat Manhattanville and then lose to Utica but the opposite happened.  Go figure.<\/span>
\nOther than that, my picks were pretty close to dead on, particularly the tournament games of Hobart and Elmira.<\/span>
\nThis week, there is one last round of league games Friday night before the teams head back out for nonconference play.  My upset special this week is Neumann over Elmira Friday night.  The Knights need to reign in Elmira if anyone hopes to catch the Soaring Eagles for the title later in the season.<\/span>
\nLast Week:  7-3       <\/span>
\nOverall:  15-5 (.750)<\/span>
\n{predicted winners bolded}<\/span>
\nFriday, December 2<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nUtica<\/strong> at Manhattanville – Which Manhattanville team will show up?  The one that beat Neumann on the road 7-4, or the one that lost to WNE and tied Williams?  Utica seems like a more consistent pick.<\/span>
\nElmira at Neumann<\/strong> – “It was a tough, hard-fought game up at our place three weeks ago,” said Elmira coach Aaron Saul.  “They always seem to do very well in their rink.”<\/span>
\nSaturday, December 3<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nFredonia at Elmira<\/strong> – Elmira will need to break through the usually staunch Fredonia trap.<\/span>
\nGeneseo at Hobart<\/strong> – Hobart is idle on Friday, while Geneseo has a tough league game against Morrisville.  A more rested Statesmen team should have the advantage.<\/span>
\nBuffalo State at Utica<\/strong> – Buffalo State has big wins against Plattsburgh and St. Thomas, so Utica has to be careful after coming off the game against Manhattanville.<\/span>
\nTuesday, December 6<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nManhattanville<\/strong> at Conn. College – The Valiants need to become more consistent, particularly when playing the schools from New England.<\/span>
\nWednesday, December 7<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nHobart <\/strong>at Buffalo State – Hobart gets a midweek road game at Buffalo State to warm up for Oswego next weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
