The top-ranked team in ECAC men's hockey, St. Lawrence, continued to excel in the conference with two victories over the weekend, while the team that had held third place alone, RPI, dropped two games to end up in a four-way tie at third.
Princeton picked up a pair of wins against two Ivy League foes as it ascended to the third place tie. Harvard also had a two-win weekend and now six teams can end up in either third or eighth spot after the upcoming last weekend of the season.

The Clarkson Golden Knights excelled to a three goal lead by early second period for a 4-1 victory over the RPI Engineers.
Clarkson took an astounding 58 shots on RPI's netminder Joel Laing who made 28 saves in the second period. RPI had 29 shots on goal.

Clarkson recovered from a two goal deficit to capture a 3-2 victory at Union as they scored three unanswered goals late in the game.
St. Lawrence 5, Rensselaer 1
