Brown also can eliminate Harvard by capturing at least three points this weekend and the Crimson eeking out just one with a tie and a loss.
The Bears were not a concern for the Crimson until last weekend when the North Country catastrophe sent the Crimson home without points and Brown stunned St. Lawrence with a 3-2 overtime victory on Saturday.
"We know that if we play well, we'll probably face RPI," Clark said. "But we're gunning for the sweep."
As might be expected, the top of the ECAC is considerably clearer than the bottom.
No. 6 Clarkson, with 34 points, holds a three point lead over the Saints, and obviously a win would clinch the ECAC crown and an automatic NCAA bid.
Should the two end up in a tie for first place, the champion is unclear. The two squads split their two regular season meetings and the next tiebreaker, record against the top-five, will not be determined until those teams are determined.
The Saints can finish no worse than second. They enjoy a four-point lead over Rennselaer and swept the Engineers in the season series.
Rennselaer, however, is the only other ECAC team with home ice clinched, and two losses would only drop it to fourth place. One point by the Engineers makes them the reward for the eighth seed.
Princeton and Yale will attempt to do just that, and they form the cream of the third bracket of teams in the final weekend. A double sweep by the traveling partners catapaults the Tigers into third.
However, two more losses for Princeton could send it back to where it finished last season--seventh place.
A few short weeks ago, the Tigers were the ninth ranked team in the nation, but now they are in danger of losing home ice.
A critical injury to senior defenseman Steve Shireffs has short circuited its transition game and severely cramped its offense.
For the Bulldogs to show, it will need to sweep and count on the lowly Skating Dutchmen knocking off Princeton.
Colgate and Cornell round out the ECAC. Both these teams can finish anywhere from fourth to seventh. However, in the toughest possible draw, these two will host both Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
