Carly Bullock and Princeton look to keep up their strong play in the ECAC. ((c) Shelley M. Szwast 2016)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The chaos of last weekend gave Nicole and I fits in our picks. Neither of us did particularly well, but Nicole did gain a game back on me in our picks race. I went 19-15 (.558), while Nicole was 20-14 (.588). On the year, I am 145-57-24 (.694) while Nicole is 139-63-24 (.668). This is the last weekend with a reasonable number of games, so hopefully I edge Nicole out this weekend.<\/p>\n

Thursday, Dec. 6, Sat. Dec. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 10 Colgate vs Syracuse <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Raiders should build off the momentum from last weekend and sweep. Colgate 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate has shown they’re capable of a sweep here so I expect them to live up to that. Colgate 3-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 6 Princeton at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Don’t look now, but the Tigers may creep into the NCAA tournament. Princeton 5-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Princeton wins this one. Princeton 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Union<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think Quinnipiac is a team that will always win when it should. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Bobcats should take this one. Quinnipiac 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Harvard<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think the Crimson at home in a tight one. Harvard 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take the Crimson at home on the back of Lindsay Reed. Harvard 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Dec. 7-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 5 Clarkson versus St. Lawrence (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This could be a toss up, but I think the Golden Knights will rebound from last weekend’s disaster. Clarkson 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I don’t feel like I have any grasp on what might happen here. I’ll pick a split, with each team winning at home. St. Lawrence 3-2, Clarkson 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack versus No. 9 Boston College (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Picking the Eagles feels like a heart attack waiting to happen, but they have so much talent. Boston College 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m going to pick Merrimack to win game one and BC to win game two. Merrimack 2-1, Boston College 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 1 Wisconsin at St. Cloud State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Wisconsin is looking terrifyingly dominant. Wisconsin 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Badgers take the sweep. Wisconsin 4-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota State at Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m really liking Minnesota State right now. With the goalies each team has, scoring will be slight. Minnesota Duluth 2-1, Minnesota State 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m high on the Mavericks, so I’ll call a split here. Minnesota Duluth 3-1, Minnesota State 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at RIT<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Dare I say the Terriers are back to being a possible NCAA tournament team? Boston University 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Terriers should sweep here. Boston University 2-0, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> A tough one to pick, but Vermont has been more inconsistent. Yale 2-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take Yale at home. Yale 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bemidji State at Mercyhurst<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Beavers got a good sweep last weekend, but this feels like a split. Mercyhurst 2-1. Bemidji State 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll call a split here. Mercyhurst 3-2, Bemidji State 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Morris at No. 2 Minnesota<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Minnesota should roll in this one. Minnesota 4-1, 5-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Gophers take both. Minnesota 5-2, 4-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Again, I like the Bobcats in a close one. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take Rensselaer. Rensselaer 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 6 Princeton at Union<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Princeton should keep up its momentum. Princeton 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Princeton wins this. Princeton 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> New Hampshire is at home, and could pose problems, so this will be a tough test for the Crimson. Harvard 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Harvard wins. Harvard 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
