Both Harvard and Brown benefitted from the weekend's road trip to Colgate
and Cornell, which is the ECAC's easiest trip this season.  The Crimson all
but clinched the regular-season title with a sweep, while Brown, with help
from RPI's win over St. Lawrence, swept into fourth place in the league,
controlling their own destiny for home ice in the quarterfinal round.  The
Bears had better keep looking over their shoulders, however, because there
are three teams (Clarkson, Vermont, and St. Lawrence) sitting one point
behind them in a tie for fifth place -- and Brown will play each of those
teams over the next two weeks.
