Right? Possibly? Maybe, just not here. <strong>Plattsburgh 6-2, 5-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 5 Lake Forest at St. Scholastica <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> St. Scholastica is a better team than its record, but it won&#8217;t be enough against Lake Forest. <strong>Lake Forest 4-1, 5-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matt:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t let St. Scholastica&#8217;s 5-7-0 mark fool you &#8212; the Saints are 3-1-0 at home this season. That said, Lake Forest has the goal-scoring extraordinaire in Michelle Greeneway and she&#8217;s the difference here as Lake Forest sweeps. <strong>Lake Forest 3-1, 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Jan. 16<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 9 Norwich at No. 10 Castleton<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> This should be an intense game. I like the visitors. <strong>Norwich -1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matt:<\/strong> This is the one matchup between ranked teams. This one could go either way, but I&#8217;m liable to side with the underdog, if there is one, in the Spartans.<strong> Castleton 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Endicott at No. 7 Middlebury &#8211; Saturday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> Middlebury has been on a roll, and I think it continues. <strong>Middlebury 3-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matt:<\/strong> Endicott could easily be ranked with its 8-4-2 record, but no dice. That may change if the Gulls can beat the Panthers and my guess is that happens, possibly in overtime. <strong>Endicott 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tons of action this weekend, but only one instance where ranked teams face one another.
