Three things from Atlantic Hockey play this weekend:<\/p>\n
Which Atlantic Hockey team has the longest unbeaten streak right now, tied for longest in the nation? Did you guess American International? The Yellow Jackets are unbeaten in their last six games after a 4-0, 9-1 sweep of Sacred Heart. AIC is now two points behind Army for tenth place and five points away from a first-round home playoff series with five games to play.<\/p>\n
Who else is hot? Air Force is 7-1-2 in its last ten games. Niagara and Rochester Institute of Technology are both 6-3-1 over that span. Teams at the other end: Sacred Heart (0-10), Army (0-6-3) and Canisius (3-7).<\/p>\n

Niagara clinched its first AHA regular season title despite a wild 6-5 overtime loss at Robert Morris on Saturday. Holy Cross, the only team that could mathematically catch the Purple Eagles, lost on home ice to Connecticut, 4-1, giving Niagara the title.<\/p>\n
“We went from losing in overtime to walking into the dressing room to find out we’d won the title,” said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder after the game on Saturday. “These last four games, we’re playing for PairWise ranking, so there’s still a lot to play for these last two weeks.”<\/p>\n
