\nThis week, the ECAC West continues its roll through nonconference games, with most of the games coming against the SUNYAC. Brockport is the wild card, as it plays a pair of games against Neumann sandwiched around a tilt at The Cooler to face Hobart.<\/span>
\nElmira heads to Norwich for the Cadets’ annual tournament. The Soaring Eagles need to rebound from a disappointing end to the first half of the season.<\/span>

\nFriday, January 6<\/span><\/strong>
\nFitchburg State vs Elmira<\/strong> — Elmira starts the second half of the season at the Norwich Classic tournament. The Soaring Eagles have chewed on a two losses during the holidays, and should be eager to erase those bad memories.<\/span>
\nNeumann<\/strong> at Brockport — Neumann is rolling outside the conference.<\/span>
\nCurry at Hobart<\/strong> — Hobart also finished 2010 with a pair of losses and needs to get rolling if it wants to play past the regular season.<\/span>
\nCortland at Utica<\/strong> — This game should be a tight affair, but Utica hasn’t lost a home nonconference game in over a year.<\/span>
\nSaturday, January 7<\/span><\/strong>
\nBrockport at Hobart<\/strong> — It is fan appreciation weekend at Hobart, with no admission cost. With warm temperatures predicted, The Cooler should be packed.<\/span>
\nCortland at Manhattanville <\/strong>— The Valiants benefit from only playing a single game this weekend, at home, against a Cortland team coming off a tough game at Utica.<\/span>
\nCurry at Utica<\/strong> — The Pioneers stay on a roll against Curry.<\/span>
\nTuesday, January 10<\/span><\/strong>
\nBrockport at Neumann<\/strong> — The Knights continue their busy schedule, but get one more day of rest than Brockport does.<\/span>
\nElmira<\/strong> at Fredonia — Elmira can’t afford to lose even a single more nonconference game if they want to stay alive for the Pool C bid.<\/span>
\nWednesday, January 11<\/span>
\nHobart at Geneseo<\/strong> — Hobart beat Geneseo at The Cooler in December, but the Ice Knights look to hold serve at home this time around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
