I picked up a game on Nicole last week, after a few weekends where she’d cut my lead. I went 21-5-5, while Nicole went 20-6-5. On the year, I am 123-41-23, while Nicole is 118-46-23. Some interesting contests to pick this weekend, so let’s get to it!<\/p>\n

Friday, Nov. 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Brown<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Brown got its first win of the year last week, but I don’t see the Bears beating the Big Red. Cornell 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Big Red should bounce back with a win here. Cornell 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Clarkson<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I may just pick Clarkson in every ECAC game this season. Clarkson 4-<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I don’t think Quinnipiac has what it takes to upset Clarkson this year. Clarkson 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at St. Lawrence<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> St. Lawrence should win this, unless the Saints are drained after the BC series. St. Lawrence 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take St. Lawrence at home. St. Lawrence 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Yale has been too inconsistent for me to pick the upset. Colgate 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate should win this. Colgate 4-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday\/Saturday, Nov. 17-18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse vs. RIT (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Neither team has exactly lit the world on fire so far. I’m going out on a limb and picking Syracuse to sweep. Syracuse 2-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I think RIT has what it takes to get the sweep. RIT 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecticut vs Boston College (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> UConn tied the Eagles last time out, but I expect a sweep. Boston College 4-2, 4-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I expect the Huskies to push them, but BC gets the sweep. Boston College 4-2, 5-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence vs Merrimack (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Providence hasn’t quite been as consistent as I think it could be, but I’ll take a Friars sweep. Providence 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take a split, with each team winning at home. Merrimack 2- 1, Providence 3-2, <\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holy Cross vs Harvard (home-and-home)<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’d love to pick the Crusaders to win one, but they didn’t look good against Sacred Heart. Harvard 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Thus far the Crimson are showing that last season was an aberration, but the new norm. I expect they sweep. Harvard 3-0, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at Vermont<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers should start winning at some point, but for now there’s no percentage in picking them. Vermont 2-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Vermont is at home and needs the points, so I think they get hyped and earn a sweep. Vermont 2-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State at Bemidji State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I could completely see Bemidji getting an upset in one game, but for now I’ll go with the Buckeyes. Ohio State 4-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> If Ohio State wants to stay in the national conversation, they have to win series like these. Bemidji won’t go down easy, but the Buckeyes sweep. Ohio State 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota State at Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Duluth has been inconsistent, but the Bulldogs are at home. Minnesota Duluth 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Duluth should be able to sweep this at home, though I like what I’ve been seeing from Mankato. Bulldogs take this. Minnesota Duluth 2-0, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Cloud State at Minnesota<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Minnesota should do well against anybody not named Wisconsin or OSU in the conference. Minnesota 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Gophers sweep. Minnesota 4-0, 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Nov. 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Brown<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Raiders stay hot. Colgate 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate wins. Colgate 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Clarkson<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Again, not picking against the Golden Knights any time soon. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Clarkson wins again at home. Clarkson 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at St. Lawrence<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> It will be a tight game, but expect the Saints to prevail. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> St. Lawrence should be able to take this one. St. Lawrence 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I expect Cornell to stay in the upper tier of the ECAC this season. Cornell 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Cornell wins. Cornell 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday\/Sunday, Nov. 18-19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Northeastern<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This is probably the hardest series to pick this weekend. Maine hasn’t been as good away from Orono. I’m going on a limb and picking Northeastern to sweep. Northeastern 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Black Bears are motivated and have beaten Northeastern when they were playing better. I’m going to give Maine the nod and pick them to sweep. Maine 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I expected more out of UNH against Colgate, but the Wildcats should take this. New Hampshire 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> New Hampshire should sweep this. New Hampshire 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Nov. 21<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penn State at Cornell<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Penn State has good defense, but not enough offense. Cornell 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Cornell continues their winning ways. Cornell 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, Nov. 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Providence<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Watch this be a tie, but home ice gets the nod from me. Providence 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m going to take Providence at home here. They’ve got similar records, and I think the Friars can take it. Providence 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at Harvard<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> More of a must-win for the visitor than the home team. Boston College 4-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> BC wins big. Boston College 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bemidji State at St. Cloud State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Beavers have shown themselves to be one of the more consistent WCHA teams so far. Bemidji State 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I like Bemidji here. Bemidji State 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
