\nThis week, a bit of a bonus as I’m making picks through the Thanksgiving weekend, as teams hit the holiday tournaments.
\nI hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
\nLast Week: 4-0
\nOverall: 8-2 (.800)
\n{predicted winners bolded}
\nFriday, November 18
\nHobart at Elmira<\/strong> – After a big game against Neumann last weekend, Elmira looks to remain perfect in league.
\nManhattanville at Neumann<\/strong> – Neumann gets its first home league contest of the season.
\nSaturday, November 19
\nUtica<\/strong> at Neumann – Utica comes into Neumann on a three-game roll. Having not played a game Friday should give the Pioneers an advantage.
\nTuesday, November 22
\nManhattanville<\/strong> at Western New England – The Valiants look to build some momentum on the road, and Western New England should be just the team for them to do it against.
\nFriday, November 25
\nNeumann <\/strong>at Cortland – Cortland certainly isn’t the pushover it used to be, but Neumann has a lot of weapons to bring to bear.
\nElmira<\/strong> at Middlebury – Elmira hits the Primelink Tournament on a roll, but this tournament is the toughest in the country.
\nSaturday, November 26
\nNeumann <\/strong>at Cortland -Neumann hopefully will finish off the sweep against Cortland, if for nothing more than to build on the ECAC West’s bragging rights over the SUNYAC.
\nNorwich\/Plattsburgh <\/strong>vs. Elmira – If Elmira can win the Primelink, it will make a strong case to jump to the top of the USCHO Poll. But facing Norwich or Plattsburgh in the championship game might be a bit too much.
\nHobart <\/strong>vs. Babson – Hobart heads east for the Cape Cod Tournament.
\nSunday, November 27
\nAmherst\/Salem State vs. Hobart <\/strong>– The Statesmen’s strong defensive corps will help them roll to the title in the Cape Cod Tournament.
\nWilliams at Manhattanville <\/strong>– Manhattanville hosts its first nonconference game of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
