ECAC West picks: Dec. 7

Went 4-2-0 last week, as I correctly picked Hobart to win the Wednesday game against Buffalo State in an early version of this blog I sent to my editor, and am now 22-4-3 to date (.810). We’ll see how this week goes.
Friday-Saturday, Dec. 7-8
 
Fredonia vs. Elmira
Elmira (4-5-0, 2-4-0) suffered its first sweep of the season last weekend. Don’t expect the Soaring Eagles to make it three straight defeats in this home-and-home series with the Blue Devils (4-6-0). Elmira 7-3, 5-4
 
Neumann at Morrisville
Neumann (4-4-1, 2-4-0) came up a goal short each night against front-running Hobart last week. Expect the Knights to take out any carry-over frustration on the struggling Mustangs (1-11-1). Neumann 4-1, 5-1
 
Saturday, Dec. 8
 
Nichols at Utica
Look for former Nichols forward and Utica leading scorer Louis Educate to put up some points against his old Bisons team (6-3-0), although it shouldn’t be an easy game for the Pioneers (7-2-0, 3-2-0). Utica 5-3
