(Shane Opatz, UWEC Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Friday, Nov. 22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 3 Utica at Nazareth<\/strong><br \/>\nUtica looked fearsome in its opening three games. Nazareth will be a tougher test, but the Soaring Eagles will prevail. <strong>Elmira 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday-Saturday, Nov. 22-23<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Augsburg versus No. 6 Gustavus Adolphus (home-and-home)<\/strong><br \/>\nAugsburg, though not ranked, beat No. 9 Hamline last weekend, so this is anything but an easy series for the Gusties. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if the Auggies won on home ice, especially since they&#8217;ve shown they can score in bunches. <strong>Augsburg 3-2, Gustavus Adoplphus 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amherst at No. 8 Middlebury<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Mammoths split last weekend at Hamilton. Middlebury, led by junior Madie Leidt, is looking to build on a strong opening weekend. I think home ice helps that quest. <strong>Middlebury 3-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Nov. 23<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 6 Wisconsin Eau-Claire at No. 4 Wisconsin-River Falls<\/strong><br \/>\nPossibly the marquee matchup of the weekend. The Blugolds will look to continue their balanced scoring and get strong netminding from senior Erin Connolly, while the Falcons counter with sophomore forward Abigail Stow and junior forward Madi Nolan, and look to Sami Miller to keep the Blugolds in check. I like te Falcons on home ice. <strong>Wisconsin-River Falls 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No. 4 Wisconsin-River Falls hosts No. 6 Wisconsin-Eau Claire, while No. 6 Gustavus Adolphus faces a dangerous, upset-minded Augsburg squad that defeated then-No. 5 Hamline last weekend.
