D3 College Hockey Championship Weekend: Norwich, Oswego Lead Charge

D3 College Hockey Championship Weekend: Norwich Oswego Lead Charge
by, Billy Mumphrey
 
Game 1. NEHC Championship: (1) Norwich vs. New England College
A one loss stacked Norwich Cadets is too much fire power for New England College to withstand for 60 minutes. Norwich by 2.
 
Game 2. SUNYAC Championship: (2) Oswego vs. Plattsburgh
Two Division 3 giants going head to head. Both of these teams have been here, both of them have won this game many times. It'll probably be the best game all weekend. Plattsburgh by 1, late.
 
Game 3. WIAC Championship: (3) Wisconsin - Stevens Point vs. (6) Wisconsin - Eau Claire
Stevens Point has had Eau Claire's number all year in two tight games. This one goes to the team that shows up and takes it; both are dangerous. Stevens Point by 1.
 
Game 4. NCHA Championship: (4) St. Norbert vs. (5) Adrian
Adrian finished higher in the League Standings than St. Norbert, but Norbert has taken both match-ups against Adrian. And both games by 2. This will definitely be a battle, I take seasoned St. Norbert by 2, again.
 
Game 5. NESCAC Championship: Wesleyan vs. (12) Trinity
The Giant Slayer Wesleyan will topple (8) Hamilton after they just took down Colby. Trinity will edge out Williams by a goal. In a Wesleyan/Trinity Rival Final, I take Wesleyan rolling with juice over a tough Trinity; Wesleyan by 1.
 
Game 6. ECAC West Championship: Hobart vs. Utica
Hobart has the better overall record, but Utica has taken both match-ups against Hobart in the regular season. I have a strange feeling Utica has this one, by 1.
 
Game 7. MASCAC Championship: Plymouth State vs. Salem State
Two of the three match-ups between these two teams have gone into overtime. I take Plymouth on a roll, by 2.
