On the weekend, I went 9-2-2 (.769), improving to 35-13-8 (.696) on the season, while Arlan went 8-3-2 (.692), improving to 33-15-8 (.660). There&#8217;s one huge series this weekend, the battle of Minnesota, as well as the battle of New Hampshire between Dartmouth and UNH. Let&#8217;s see how we can do this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday-Saturday, November 4-5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>North Dakota at St. Cloud State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> North Dakota hasn&#8217;t quite made the leap I thought they would this season, as shown by only getting one point last weekend in Duluth, though there is still time. However, though St. Cloud is improving, they aren&#8217;t there yet. <strong>North Dakota 5-2, 4-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> The Sioux will find the big ice in St. Cloud more to their liking than the sheet in Madison. <strong>North Dakota 4-2, 6-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Minnesota-Duluth at Minnesota<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> This series is a toss up for me. Theoretically, home ice should help the Gophers, as will the goaltending of Noora R&#228;ty. However, the Bulldogs looked impressive in dominating North Dakota last Friday, and I think the Wisconsin series helped the young team&#8217;s development. I think it&#8217;s probably a split, but who knows which game either wins. <strong>Minnesota&#160; 2-1, Minnesota-Duluth 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> Rankings mean little when these sister schools meet. <strong>Minnesota 4-2, UMD 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wisconsin at Ohio State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> In our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/2011\/11\/02\/wednesday-women-first-looks\/\">debut feature discussion<\/a> this week, I questioned whether anybody can stop Wisconsin. Someone will probably beat them, but it won&#8217;t be Ohio State. <strong>Wisconsin 4-1, 4-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> Natalie Spooner&#8217;s Hockey Canada absences seem to come at the worst times for the Buckeyes. <strong>Wisconsin 3-2, 6-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bemidji State at Minnesota State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> This is the type of series the Beavers need to sweep to establish themselves as an upper-echelon team.&#160; Which, of course, means they&#8217;ll probably split, but I&#8217;ll go with Bemidji and the goaltending of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/2011\/11\/03\/what-comes-after-z\/\">Zuzana Tomcikova<\/a> in two close games. <strong>Bemidji State 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> Crucial league points for the Beavers in Mankato. <strong>Bemidji State 1-0, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northeastern vs. Connecticut<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> An interesting Hockey East home-and-home, and really the first big test for Northeastern. I could see Connecticut getting a win, but for now, I&#8217;ll go with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/2011\/10\/20\/northeasterns-lucky-coyne\/\">Kendall Coyne<\/a> and Northeastern. <strong>Northeastern 3-1, 4-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> UConn has won only once in 10 outings, so I&#8217;ll go with the Huntington breed of Husky. <strong>Northeastern 4-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, November 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale at Quinnipiac<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> I think this is the game where the Bobcats may finally get a little confidence. <strong>Quinnipiac 4-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> How does one say &#8220;long year&#8221; in Yale-ish? <strong>Quinnipiac 5-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday-Sunday, November 5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maine at Providence<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> Maine played a great game to upset Boston College last Sunday, but they&#8217;ve historically then fallen flat in their next series. <strong>Providence 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> Is Tuesday an indication that PC has found something, or just that Yale is still looking? <strong>Providence 3-2, Maine 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday November 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Boston College at Boston University<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> The Eagles have been mercurial, and the Terriers just beat them at Chestnut Hill Wednesday. Which means BC bounces back. <strong>Boston College 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> BC has the better record, but BU has played the tougher schedule. <strong>BU 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, November 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Hampshire at Dartmouth<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> The Big Green has already lost to one Hockey East squad, but I don&#8217;t think the Wildcats are quite strong enough to duplicate it. <strong>Dartmouth 3-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Arlan:<\/strong> It will be interesting to see which direction UNH goes coming off of a bye. <strong>Dartmouth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I didn&#8217;t get the Harvard-Clarkson pick right, I was happy to get the Minnesota-Bemidji State split right.
