\nThe Tigers have done well against teams below them in the ECAC, and need this one. Princeton 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nNo way do the Elis surprise the Bobcats a second time. Quinnipiac 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThis one will be closer, but I like the Tigers to get a good start to their second half. Princeton 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Bobcats should take this one pretty easily. Quinnipiac 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Big Green’s confidence was shattered by Wisconsin, and Northeastern’s offense is too good. Northeastern 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI’m tempted to pick the Dutchwomen, but they’d probably only tie in that event. Vermont 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Engineers are so up and down, so I like the Lakers to sweep, with one being super close. Mercyhurst 3-2, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBoth teams have been pretty up and down so far. Penn State hasn’t won since mid-November, closing the first half on a 1-9-4 run. The Buckeyes can at least look to beating North Dakota and Vermont in late November. Ohio State 2-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnother hard series to call. I like a split. Robert Morris 2-1, Providence 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Mavericks have done better out of conference, though Lindenwood presents a tough challenge. Lindenwood 2-1, Minnesota State 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Warriors have fallen on hard times since a decent start. Vermont showed signs of life over the last couple of weeks of the first half. Vermont 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThis will be a close one, but I like the Raiders to pull it out. Colgate 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nElaine Chuli will only be able to hold off Kendall Coyne and company for so long. Northeastern 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nLook for the Saints to get a crucial win here. St. Lawrence 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nA battle of two defensive-minded teams should still be a sweep for the Beavers. Bemidji State 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
