The MIAC will host NCHA teams this weekend in nonconference action. The games will be the final warm-up before teams head into the second half of the conference schedule.
\nAfter starting out hot last Friday, going 4-0, I came crashing down in predicting the rest of the games, going 0-3. That makes me 17-11 for the season, a .647 success rate.
\n{Predicted winners bolded}
\nFriday, January 7, 2012<\/strong>
\nWis.-Stout at Bethel<\/strong>
\nOne of the hottest teams in the MIAC, Bethel should continue to impress, and is 4-1 at home this season. Wis.-Stout had a frustrating beginning to the season in 2011, and has only one road victory this season.
\nWis.-Eau Claire at Concordia (Minn.)<\/strong>
\nGoaltending will be the highlight of this game. Kelly Andrew has been the Friday starter for Concordia (Minn.), meaning Chris Neamonitis will start against the fiery offense of Wis.-River Falls on Saturday. Brandon Stephenson will be the likely starter for Wis.-Eau Claire. On average, both teams do not allow more than three goals a game. Concordia (Minn.) is 6-1 in one-goal games, while Wis.-Eau Claire is 2-3 in one-goal games this season.
\nWis.-River Falls<\/strong> at St. John’s
\nThe speed and offensive prowess of Wis.-River Falls should outlast St. John’s. Wis.-River Falls has outscored opponents by a margin of 55-27 so far this season.
\nWis.-Stevens Point<\/strong> at St. Mary’s
\nAll three of St. Mary’s wins this season have come at home, but the team has not played a game since December 9. Wis.-Stevens Point played last weekend against Adrian and split the series.
\nSaturday, January 8, 2012<\/strong>
\nWis.-Superior at Gustavus<\/strong> Adolphus<\/strong>
\nWisconsin comes to St. Peter, Minn. Gustavus went 4-0-1 when playing in the Badger State this season. Wis.-Superior has a good offense, and has not lost on the road this season, going 3-0-2. A Wis.-Superior win would not necessarily be an upset, but Gustavus is coming out of the winter break on a five-game winning streak.
\nSt. Norbert<\/strong> at St. Mary’s
\nIit is time for the defending national champions to kick it into gear. St. Norbert is undefeated when scoring first, with a 3-0-2 record, but when opponents score first, the team is 4-3-1. If St. Mary’s wants a chance in the game, it has to score early.
\nSt. Thomas<\/strong> at Bethel
\nIt is being considered a nonconference game in the standings, but a St. Thomas win would be a signal to the rest MIAC that it is the top contender in the conference. A win for Bethel would give the team an even bigger confidence boost and put them into contender status.
\nTuesday, January 10, 2012<\/strong>
\nSt. Scholastica<\/strong> at Northland
\nA handful of the top scorers in Division III will play in Tuesday’s game. For Northland, Kraig Wright and Colin McIntosh are No. 2 and No. 3 in the country for scoring. Brett Corcoran is No. 9 in scoring and plays for St. Scholastica. Northland has to stay out of the penalty box to have a chance. St. Scholastica has the second best power play in Division III, scoring in over 30 percent of its chances with the man advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
