Alina Mueller leads Northeastern against Clarkson this weekend. (Northeastern Athletics)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On our final weekend of picks in early December, Nicole and I did so-so. I went 15-5-2 (.727), while Nicole was 14-6-2 (.681). I gained another game in our season race, so now I am at 160-62-26 (.697) while Nicole is 153-69-26 (.657). We are back with some interesting series, so let’s get to prognostications.<\/p>\n

Friday, Jan. 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Harvard<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I like the Tigers to further cement their position atop the ECAC. Princeton 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Princeton wins this. Princeton 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Dartmouth has potential, but I think the Bobcats are too consistent. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Quinnipiac should take this. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Jan. 4-5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecticut versus Holy Cross (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Holy Cross got crushed the last time they faced Connecticut, but this could be closer. Connecticut 5-2, 4-3<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I see a split. Connecticut 4-2, Holy Cross 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT at Brown<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Bears came back to Earth after their wins over Colgate and Cornell, but I like them to sweep. Brown 2-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I like a split in this one. RIT 2-1, Brown 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union at Bemidji State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Beavers have been playing much better of late, winning three of their last four. Bemidji State 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Bemidji State sweeps. Bemidji State 2-1, 3-2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Again, the Tigers will come out strong. Princeton 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Princeton wins this one. Princeton 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Harvard<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> What’s the over\/under on a goal being scored in this one? Harvard 2-1 <\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Harvard wins this. Harvard 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> It’s scary to think of a BC team actually really needing a win over New Hampshire, but that’s where the Eagles are. Boston College 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> BC gets back on track. Boston College 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at Maine<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers stumbled out of the gate last week with a tie and loss to Penn State. I think this is a split. Maine 3-2, Boston University 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> BU sweeps. Boston University 4-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at Providence<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I see the Friars sweeping this. Providence 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Providence sweeps. Providence 3-0, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Cloud State versus Minnesota State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Huskies swept Lindenwood out of the gate, and look to build on the momentum. St. Cloud State 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Minnesota State should get the win. Minnesota State 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota versus Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I like the Gophers to get a big win here. Minnesota 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Minnesota wins. Minnesota 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Mercyhurst<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I like Colgate to get the sweep. Colgate 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate sweeps. Colgate 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern versus Clarkson (Belfast)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This is the marquee series of the weekend. I’m picking Clarkson to sweep. Clarkson 2-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I see a split. Northeastern 3-2, Clarkson 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Jan. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I keep expecting Syracuse to get traction. Syracuse 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Home ice wins. Rensselaer 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Penn State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Big Red start strong. Cornell 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Cornell wins this. Cornell 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think the Wildcats get a surprise win. New Hampshire 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I pick home ice. Yale 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
