Penn State at Niagara

Drew: Niagara is 57th in the nation in both offense and defense, averaging 1.67 goals per game while giving up 4.50. It is also near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to special-teams play. Penn State should be motivated after a tough weekend last week and it should win rather easily.

Paula: The Purple Eagles (0-5-1) are looking for their first win of the season after dropping two to Cornell last weekend. The Nittany Lions will need to respond well to a home tie and loss to St. Lawrence last weekend. This is a single, untelevised game that begins at 7:00 p.m. Friday between two teams that have never met previously.

Drew’s pick: Penn State 6-3.
Paula’s pick: Penn State 4-2.
