I still like the Broncos to get something from this series, though, so I&#8217;ll take them to win one of two. <strong>Western Michigan 3-1, St. Cloud 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colorado College at North Dakota<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> The Tigers got their first conference win last weekend against Omaha. Can they take out another top squad?

That&#8217;s true, but I can&#8217;t see the Tigers getting anything this weekend on the road against a UND team that has been playing well just about all season. <strong>North Dakota 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Jan. 23<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Minnesota-Duluth vs. Bemidji State (North Star College Cup)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> The Bulldogs face the Beavers in the first round of the Minnesota college hockey tournament.
