The Bulldogs possess the country&#8217;s top power play (32 percent), but Oswego gives up just over three power plays per game.

There are no secrets left between the two, who would be meeting for the fifth time this year (Eau Claire leads 2-1-0). This time, Blugolds goalie Brandon Stephenson will flash the form that earned him NHCA Player of the Year honors. <strong>Wis.-Eau Claire 2-0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Bowdoin at Utica<\/strong><br \/>\nUtica, the D-III attendance leader at over 3,000 per game, will have strong crowd support for its first-ever NCAA appearance, but that alone won&#8217;t get it done against the Polar Bears. <strong>Bowdoin 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Round &#8211; Wednesday, March 6 (Campus sites) Wentworth at Babson Babson pulled off a stunner by upending top-ranked Norwich in the ECAC East title game.
