\nWentworth Leopards at Babson Beavers<\/strong>
\nHave to like what Babson has done during the ECAC East tourney. A hot team, with confidence, heading into the first round and playing at home. Babson 4-2<\/strong>
\nSt. John’s Johnnies at Wis.-Eau Claire Blugolds<\/strong>
\nThe MIAC champs, St. John’s, battle Eau Claire, an at-large bid, which fell to St. Norbert in the NCHA final. The Blugolds look to rebound from this one. Wis.-Eau Claire 3-1<\/strong>
\nMass.-Dartmouth Corsairs at Bowdoin Polar Bears<\/strong>
\nBoth of these teams come off winning their respected conferences. Bowdoin dominated all season long, while the Corsairs peaked at the right time. Polar Bears in this one. Bowdoin 5-2<\/strong>
\nQuarterfinal Round – Saturday, March 9 (Campus sites)<\/strong>
\nBabson Beavers at Norwich Cadets<\/strong>
\nCan the Beavers do it twice? I don’t think so. Too much experience in Norwich, as it looks to get back to the tile game. Norwich 4-1<\/strong>
\nOswego State Lakers at Adrian Bulldogs<\/strong>
\nIn some cases, this could be a possible match-up in the NCAA title game, but it’s not, and one powerhouse is going home early. Have to go with the Lakers. Oswego State 3-2<\/strong>
\nWisconsin Eau-Claire Blugolds at St. Norbert Green Knights<\/strong>
\nRound two between these programs. I think the Green Knights continue to roll after Eau-Claire comes off a hard-fought win over St. John’s. St. Norbert 4-2<\/strong>
\nBowdoin Polar Bears at Utica Pioneers<\/strong>
\nAnother interesting match-up, as Utica gets in after it lost in the semifinals of the ECAC West tourney. The Polar Bears match up well, but does home ice come into play? I’ll take a shot at this one, as 145 goals were scored between both teams. Bowdoin 5-4<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
