ECAC results this weekend

ECAC teams sure had their ups and downs...

Friday 12/10:
Dartmouth 2, UML 4
Clarkson 3, OSU 3
Princeton 3, Merrimack 4
Union 5, Wayne St. 1

Saturday 12/11
Princeton 2, Merrimack 4
Union 3, Wayne St. 4
Maine 1, Harvard 4
BU 4, RPI 1
OSU 1, Clarkson 3

Clarkson taking 3 points from OSU and Harvard taking down Maine are the obvious highlights. Unfortunately, nothing but disappointing results from the rest.

Results of the entire Top 15 this week:

1. Minnesota                W, W (St. Cloud State)
2. Wisconsin                L, W (Minnesota State)
3. Colorado College         W, W (Alaska-Anchorage)
4. Michigan                 W, W (Bowling Green)
5. Boston College           W (Northeastern)
6. Denver                   idle
7. New Hampshire            W (Massachusetts)
8. Ohio State               T, L (Clarkson)
9. North Dakota             W, L (Minnesota-Duluth)
10. Vermont                 L (Harvard)   
11. Maine                   L (Harvard)
12. Cornell                 idle
13. Colgate                 idle
14. Boston University       W (Rensselaer)
15. Northern Michigan       T, W (Alaska-Fairbanks)

Harvard isn't just winning, they're holding most opponents to 1 goal. Since their lost weekend at Cornell-Colgate:

3-1 Yale
8-6 Princeton
3-1 BC
2-1 at BU
2-4 at SLU
3-2 at Clarkson
4-1 Union
2-1 RPI
3-1 UVM
4-1 Maine

And there will be four ECAC teams ranked this week. When was the last time that happened?

Also worth noting that Harvard now has two home and one road "quality" wins. A good performance at the Minnesota tournament and/or the Beanpot will go a long way towards nailing down an at large NCAA bid.
