The weekend’s action is light but does feature a major clash between ranked teams in the Cardinal Panther Classic.Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 26-27No. 7 Oswego at WilliamsWilliams has only played two games, so this is a bit difficult. I’ll call it a split, with Oswego taking the first game and Williams edging them in the second. Oswego 3-1, Williams 3-2Cardinal Panther ClassicUtica vs. No. 5 MiddleburyI expect this year’s hosts to do well in this opening match. Middlebury 4-2No. 3 Adrian vs. No.1 PlattsburghThis game could go either way, I think, but I’m not sure it’s ever OK to pick against Plattsburgh. The Cardinals win a tough one. Plattsburgh 4-3No. 1 Plattsburgh at No. 5 Middlebury (championship game)As mentioned above, I’m not going to make a habit of picking against Plattsburgh, though this game tempts me to break my rule already. Plattsburgh 3-2Utica vs. No. 3 Adrian consolation gameUtica’s got a stingy defense, but I think Adrian nets a few. Adrian 3-1Sunday, Nov. 27Concordia (Minn.) at MarianThese two should be evenly matched. Both are looking to improve in their conference and a win this weekend might provide some confidence to help achieve that goal. I’ll pick Marian at home, Marian 2-1The weekend’s action is light but does feature a major clash between ranked teams in the Cardinal Panther Classic.Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 26-27No. 7 Oswego at WilliamsWilliams has only played two games, so this is a bit difficult.
