So far in games between these four teams we have:
 
Cornell 6 Vermont 4
Vermont 7 Cornell 5
***
RPI 4 Cornell 2
***
Clarkson 5 Cornell 2
***
Clarkson 2 Vermont 1
Vermont 2 Clarkson 1
***
Clarkson 5 RPI 1
Clarkson 4 RPI 0
***
RPI 4 Vermont 2
 
So the head-to-head record (which is the same as the record vs top 4),
which would be the first (and second) level tie-breaker if all four teams
were tied at the end of the year, is currently:
 
1.  Clarkson (4-1)
2.  RPI (2-2)
3.  Vermont (2-3)
4.  Cornell (1-3)
 
Games still to be played:
 
Vermont at RPI, 2/15
Cornell at RPI, 2/22
Clarkson at Cornell, 2/28
