Northeastern (15-13-1, 12-9-1) scored a huge upset this past weekend in its 3-2 victory over Harvard. The Huskies, however, could not ride out the momentum of the win and fell to Brown the following day, 3-2.

Yet another impressive ECAC goalie made headlines this week as Huskie goalie Erika Silva recorded her 2,000th career save. Recently appearing in Sports Illustrated, Silva has been nominated as one of the candidates for the Patty Kazmaier Award, which is given to the top collegiate women's hockey player in the nation.

Northeastern will attempt to move up to at least fifth in the ECAC this weekend as they play against cellar-dweller Boston College (7-24-0, 1-21-0) and No.1 Dartmouth.

If there are no changes to the playoff picture, Harvard will host the Niagara Purple Eagles (17-13-4, 9-11-4) in the first round of the playoffs. Niagara meanwhile has to feel good about last weekend as it managed to split a home series with Dartmouth, handing the Big Green just its third loss of the season.

Niagara finished its season one week early and hence will play no games this weekend. The Purple Eagles will surely watch the results of the Providence games, since they lead the Friars by only one point in the standings for the second-to-last playoff spot.

Providence (17-12-3, 9-10-3) had a largely unsuccessful weekend, dropping both of its games. The Friars first suffered a close 3-2 loss to Harvard and then a blowout to Brown, 6-1.

The Friars are clinging to the last playoff spot in the ECAC, two points ahead of ninth place Maine. Providence can leap frog Niagara, sliding into the seventh playoff spot and avoiding a first round confrontation with Dartmouth by winning one of its games this weekend. The Friars will try to pick up that victory against either Dartmouth or Boston College, which only has one ECAC win this season.
