With just 11 games on the Division III women’s schedule this weekend to take us into the holiday break, that doesn’t mean none of the games are meaningful ones.
Ranked teams will take the ice this weekend and will face formidable opponents.
Let’s see what our predictions are for the weekend of Dec. 12-14, shall we?
Marian @ No. 10 Wisconsin-Superior – Dec. 12-13
Candace: Home ice and a better team equals a sweep. Wis.-Superior 4-2, 4-1
Matt: Superior isn’t ranked No. 10 in the country for no reason and I see a sweep here on home ice. Look for a big offensive weekend from Karen Larson and for Superior’s two goaltenders (Megan Leikkari and Kim Kobar) to each grab a win.
No. 7 Wisconsin-Stevens Point @ No. 5 Gustavus Adolphus – Dec. 13
Candace: Gustavus has struggled of late, but they are at home for this one, and I think home wins the night. Gustavus Adolphus 3-2
Matt: Wow – what gives here? This matchup could very well happen once the national tournament rolls around in a few short months. I could take the lazy way out and pick a tie, but instead, I am picking the Pointers, possibly in overtime, by a 4-3 score. Give the game-winner to Ali Biagnini.
No. 8 Adrian @ Massachusetts-Boston – Dec. 13
Candace: Like Matt, I believe that Adrian is just too strong in this one. Adrian 4-1
Matt: Adrian remains undefeated this year and it will stay that way after this contest. Jade Walsh gets the win in goal and Kristen Lewicki scores twice. Just a hunch.
