True, but one of those bottom four is Dartmouth, who handed the Elis one of
their two ECAC losses when the teams met a month ago (the other loss was to
Brown). Yale does look to be a shoo-in for the regular-season title regardless
of how they do against Clarkson and RPI, but at this time of year, you never
know. An upset win would pretty much make any of the bottom four teams'
season.

Head coach Mark Morris announced earlier this week that Bernard would get the
start against Yale, citing the "soft goals" that Murphy has been giving up.
