I picked up another three games on Nicole in our picks race last week, going 17-6-6, while Nicole went 14-9-6. On the year, I am 140-47-29 while Nicole is 132-55-29. We have some interesting games on tap this weekend, so let’s see what happens.<\/p>\n

Friday, Nov. 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holy Cross at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The last time out, it was an exhibition and Dartmouth won in OT. I’m tempted to pick the Crusaders, but I think they may have a letdown after last weekend. Dartmouth 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m hyped on Holy Cross and loved what I heard from Coach Van Buskirk this week. I think they have what it takes to beat Dartmouth. Holy Cross 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nutmeg Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penn State vs Connecticut<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> If the Nittany Lions had offense, they might be dangerous. Connecticut 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This should be a win for Connecticut 3-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This game hasn’t gone well for the Elis in recent years. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Quinnipiac has picked it up in recent weeks and I expect that to continue. Quinnipiac 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Windjammer Classic <\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate vs. Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Raiders looks like one of the best teams in the country. Colgate 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate should win this. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT vs. Vermont<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Vermont should rebound from a disappointing weekend last time out. Vermont 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Catamounts take this one. Vermont 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday\/Saturday, Nov. 24=25 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Merrimack <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> A tough series to pick. I’ll go with the Tigers to sweep. Princeton 2-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take a split here. Merrimack 3-1, Princeton 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at Mercyhurst <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Rensselaer seems to get a lot of ties, but I like Mercyhurst to sweep. Mercyhurst 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This one is likely also going to be a split. Mercyhurst 2-0, Rensselaer 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State at Robert Morris <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m tempted to pick a split, but Ohio State seems to be stronger to me. Ohio State 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> These are must-wins for Ohio State, in my opinion, but they’d go a long way in helping Robert Morris get respect. I’ll pick OSU to sweep behind a great weekend from Kassidy Sauve. Ohio State 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Union <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Black Bears have shown more consistency than the Dutchwomen. Maine 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Maine should handle this weekend. Maine 4-1, 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

D-I in DC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University vs. Minnesota State <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers should get another big win. Boston University 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Even in a down year, BU should have the talent to beat Mankato. Boston University 3-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern vs. Wisconsin<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Northeastern just isn’t strong enough to take it to the top teams. Wisconsin 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Badgers should take this. Wisconsin 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisconsin vs. Boston University<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Sooner or later, Wisconsin will lose. Probably not this weekend. Wisconsin 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I expect Wisconsin to win. Wisconsin 3-0.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern vs. Minnesota State <\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think Northeastern gets out of the weekend with a win. Northeastern 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Huskies should win this one. Northeastern 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Nov. 25<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire vs. Harvard<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Harvard just seems to be in a down cycle. New Hampshire 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> New Hampshire has the talent to take this one. New Hampshire 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecticut vs. Quinnipiac<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Bobcats have shown some signs of life, so I’ll pick them. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take UConn to win. Connecticut 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yale vs. Penn State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Yale should have enough to win a tough game. Yale 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole: Yale 1-0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT vs. Colgate<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I look for the Raiders to bounce back after a surprise loss. Colgate 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate wins this one. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont vs. Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Duluth showed a lot of good things against Colgate. Minnesota Duluth 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> UMD wins the tournament. Minnesota Duluth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday\/Sunday, Nov. 25-26<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota vs Lindenwood<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Minnesota is back on track for the NCAA tournament. Minnesota 4-1, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Gophers sweep. Minnesota 5-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Providence<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> A tough series to pick. I’ll go for a sweep and hope I get one right. Providence 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I have no idea how to pick this one, so I’ll hedge my bets and call a split. Cornell 3-2, Providence 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at BC<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Northeastern has been inconsistent. BC has had a few hiccups, but looks strong. Boston College 5-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Boston College continues their HE dominance. Boston College 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown at Boston University<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers show signs of waking up. Boston University 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole<\/strong>: BU wins. Boston University 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
