Annie Katonka of Plattsburgh leads the team in scoring ahead of the Panther\/Cardinal Classic. (Plattsburgh Athletics)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Friday, Nov. 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 10 St. Thomas at No. 6 Wisconsin-Eau Claire<\/strong>
\nThis is just one matchup between top 10 teams this weekend, as tournaments bring in the big guns. St. Thomas is off to a solid start, but I think Wisconsin-Eau Claire is deeper, and with back-to-back wins over top 10 teams, I think their confidence and home ice will get the win. Wisconsin-Eau Claire 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Nov. 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 5 Elmira at No. 6 Wisconsin-Eau Claire<\/strong>
\nAnother top 10 game in the Lake Forest Invitational. Elmira looked fearsome in its first few games, but a loss to Nazareth last weekend put a dim on that shine. Wisconsin-Eau Claire will be gunning for four top 10 wins in a row, but I think the Soaring Eagles get their swagger back. Elmira 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 7 Wisconsin-River Falls at No. 1 Plattsburgh<\/strong>
\nThe first game in the Panther\/Cardinal Classic will be a test for undefeated Plattsburgh, which has had the benefit of playing seven of its first eight games at home. Wis.-River Falls lost to Wis.-Eau Claire its last game out, and prior to that tied St. Thomas. Plattsburgh won’t roll, but I think the Cardinals get the win. Plattsburgh 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 2 Adrian at No. 8 Middlebury<\/strong>
\nThe country’s best offense faces the country’s best defense. Middlebury hasn’t won this tournament in a decade, and unfortunately for the Panthers I don’t think they will this time out either. Adrian looks to be the best in the country right now. Adrian 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
