Last Week:<\/strong> 7-3-2
\nOn the Season:<\/strong> 70-31-13 (.671)<\/p>\n

This Week’s Picks:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 9 and Saturday, Dec. 10<\/strong>
\nAmerican International at Rochester Institute of Technology<\/strong> – This is the only two game series of the weekend. RIT is 17-3-1 all-time against AIC, including 9-1-1 at Ritter Arena. I think that trend will continue. RIT 4, AIC 3; RIT 3, AIC 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 9<\/strong>
\nSacred Heart at Quinnipiac<\/strong> – The Pioneers have an upset on the books this season (a win over Yale), but I don’t think the Bobcats will be taking the Pios lightly despite their record. Quinnipiac 5, Sacred Heart 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bentley at Connecticut<\/strong> – Something has to give here as neither team has lost in their eastern “pod”. I think the Huskies will be the team that keeps its streak going. UConn 4, Bentley 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Niagara at Robert Morris<\/strong> – The Purple Eagles made a swing through the Keystone State with games against Robert Morris and Mercyhurst. I think this will be the best game of the weekend, with the Colonials pulling out a close one. RMU 4, Niagara 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercyhurst at Canisius<\/strong> – This will be the 68th meeting between the two schools, dating back to their days in the Division III ECAC West. I like the Lakers to pick up a road win. Mercyhurst 2, Canisius 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 10<\/strong>
\nArmy at Holy Cross<\/strong> – The Crusaders should take this one at home, where they are 5-0 against AHA competition so far. Holy Cross 4, Army 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Niagara at Mercyhurst<\/strong> – This is a budding rivalry now that both teams are in the AHA. Mercyhurst took two of three games last season against the Purple Eagles, but I have a hunch Niagara is going to come out on top on the road. Niagara 3, Mercyhurst 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, Dec. 11<\/strong>
\nSacred Heart at Dartmouth<\/strong> – Another ECAC opponent, and I think another loss for the Pioneers. Dartmouth 4, SHU 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canisius at Robert Morris<\/strong> – This should be a good contest, pitting RMU’s hot offense against Canisius’ stingy defense. Special teams will be key and the Colonials have a big advantage in the penalty-killing department. RMU 4, Canisius 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n
