Last Week:<\/strong> 8-5-1 This Week’s Picks:<\/strong> Robert Morris at Bentley<\/strong> – This will be a case of a potent RMU offense against a stingy (in league play at least) Bentley defense. This is Robert Morris’ first trip to the JAR since joining Atlantic Hockey – it last played there in 2005. I’m thinking split again. Bentley 3, RMU 1; RMU 4, Bentey 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n Air Force at Holy Cross<\/strong> – This should be the most entertaining series of the weekend. Both teams are coming off losses to ranked teams and this series will go a long way in shaping the top of the standings. Air Force has had the Crusaders number, holding a 10-1-5 record against them since joining the AHA. I’m picking another split. Air Force 3, Holy Cross 2; Holy Cross 4, Air Force 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n Niagara at Connecticut<\/strong> – The Huskies trail the Purple Eagles by two points in the standings. The teams split last season in Niagara Falls, and I expect the same this year. UConn 3, Niagara 2; Niagara 4, UConn 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sacred Heart at Merychurst<\/strong> – The Pioneers lead the all-time series 19-15-5 but I think the Lakers will make that closer with a home sweep. Mercyhurst 4, Sacred Heart 2; Mercyhurst 6, Sacred Heart 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n Rochester Institute of Technology at Wisconsin<\/strong> – This is a rematch of the 2010 national semifinals, easily won by Wisconsin 8-1. RIT is coming off two impressive wins against ranked teams. But both those games were played at a neutral site, and I think the home ice advantage will carry the Badgers. Wisconsin 3, RIT 1; Wisconsin 5, RIT 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Tuesday, Jan. 10<\/strong> <\/p>\n Take Me On<\/strong> Last Week: 8-5-1 On the Season: 98-37-15 (.703) This Week’s Picks: Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7 Canisius at Army -The Black knight played well at the UConn tournament last week, knocking off RPI.

\nOn the Season:<\/strong> 98-37-15 (.703)<\/p>\n
\nFriday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7<\/strong>
\nCanisius at Army<\/strong> -The Black knight played well at the UConn tournament last week, knocking off RPI. I think they translate that into at least a split. Army is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings between the teams at Tate Rink. Army 3, Canisius 2; Canisius 3, Army 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAmerican International at Rensselaer<\/strong> – These teams are a combined 6-29-2, but I think RPI needs this one more than the Yellow Jackets, and will prevail at home. RPI 2, AIC 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n
