The spotlight this weekend was in Burlington, where the North Country teams came in to tangle with Vermont, with the top spot in the ECAC on the line. The Catamounts managed a split, falling to Clarkson on Friday night before rebounding to knock off St. Lawrence 24 hours later. Despite the loss to Vermont, the Saints maintained their hold on first place and clinched a playoff spot as well. The Cats are now one point away from clinching as well.
