While there were no sweeps on the weekend, four teams got three points each: Clarkson, Cornell (!), Union, and Vermont. The Golden Knights' three-point weekend propelled them into a first-place tie in the standings with idle Brown, while the other three teams were at least able to gain some ground in the ECAC's second division.
