Weiniger also collected a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Amherst on Friday. He currently leads the Polar Bears with 14 tallies this season."

National Polls
Bowdoin's loss to Amherst had differing consequences. In the USCHO poll, the Polar Bears fell only one spot to 3rd  while they fell to 6th in the D3hockey pollWilliams loss to Trinity drops them from 10th to 12th in the USCHO poll and from 12th to 13th in D3hockey. The Bantams don't crack the top 15 despite beating ranked teams in back to back weeks.  Amherst's victory over Bowdoin moves them up to 10th in both polls.

USCHO Picks
Not Tim Costello's best week. He went 0fer on Friday, picking Bowdoin over Amherst, Tufts over Conn. College, and Williams over Trinity. He did better on Saturday, getting the Williams/Wesleyan tie wrong but correctly choosing Middlebury over Trinity and getting  not only the outcome but the score of Bowdoin's 5-2 victory over Hamilton.  2-4-0 for the week and 41-17-6 for the season. You can find all his picks, with explanations, here.
