The Harvard men's hockey team split its two ECAC games over the weekend with a 3-2 loss to Union and a 1-0 win over RPI.

With the win over RPI, the Crimson (12-14-1, 11-8-1 ECAC) is assured of a spot in the top-five of the ECAC standings and will therefore have home ice for the first round of the playoffs. The Crimson is currently tied with Cornell for first place in the standings, but a sweep over Yale and Princeton this weekend could move them up in the ranks pending the results of the other league games.

St. Lawrence (16-10-4, 13-4-3) is sitting precariously in first place, with Clarkson just one point behind and away games against Dartmouth and Vermont coming up for the Saints this weekend.

Sophomore Blair Clarance played a pivotal role in the Saints' wins last weekend over Colgate and Cornell. Clarance scored two goals and assisted on the third in St. Lawrence's 3-1 win over Colgate on Friday night. He then followed that up with the game-winning goal in the 3-2 victory over Cornell on Saturday night.

Captain Erik Anderson was unable to play due to an ankle injury, but it looks like the Saints are filling in the gap in the offense.

Clarkson (18-9-3, 13-5-2) is in great position going into the last two games of the season, only one point out of first place and on a five-game winning streak. The Golden Knights secured their high ranking going into this weekend with a Friday night win over Colgate and a Saturday night win over Cornell.

Freshman right wing Rob McFeeters scored one goal and assisted on the other in the 2-0 triumph and sophomore goaltender Mike Walsh finished the night with 18 saves.

In the 3-2 win over Colgate, junior right wing Chris Line scored a goal and assisted on another tally. The Golden Knights have won seven of their last eight games going into this weekend, when they will go on the road to face Vermont and Dartmouth.
