After the complete washout that was the Ivy title race last season, at least there’s an outside chance for some fireworks entering the final weekend of league play.Sure, Penn still holds a comfortable lead and can either clinch the title with a sweep this weekend, a split and a Princeton loss, or a win at Jadwin Gym on Tuesday. But the prospect of the latter option is what has people excited.Imagine the Quakers laying an egg in New Haven tomorrow night in front of a downright nasty Yale crowd, and the Tigers cleaning up the next night...
...Harvard men’s hockey team got exactly what it was looking for with a weekend sweep over St. Lawrence and Clarkson: the opportunity to take the next weekend off. The Crimson (17-10-2, 13-8-1 ECAC) needed four points on the weekend to guarantee a first-round bye in the league playoffs, which begin next Friday.

With just two games left to play for every squad, the league postseason picture is still foggy at best, and the Crimson could end up anywhere from the top of the pack to eighth in the 12-team standings. But one thing is certain: if Harvard sweeps this weekend’s home contests against St. Lawrence and Clarkson, it will finish fourth at worst. That would clinch one of the four first-round byes for the league playoffs, which begin March 4. “There’s no question they?...
