So what are we to make of the ECAC after the first full weekend of league
play? None of the three preseason favorites -- Harvard, Vermont, and
Clarkson -- are any higher than sixth, as those teams went a combined 2-3-1.
Meanwhile, Brown keeps rolling along, retaining their spot atop the
standings with a weekend sweep. Close behind, RPI opens the season by
putting 14 goals on the board against Clarkson and St. Lawrence -- one week
after an embarrassing loss to Army. The league's three other undefeated
teams are Cornell, Dartmouth, and Union; would anyone have bet on any one of
those teams going undefeated in the first weekend?
Game results from Friday and Saturday:
Friday, November 11:
Brown 5, PRINCETON 4 (OT)
Dartmouth 5, CORNELL 5 (OT)
