Hamilton 2 Williams 2
Box Score
Seamus O'Neill scored from the point at 10:19 of the 3rd to pull the Continentals even with the Ephs. Williams (18-4-2; 14-2-2) had already wrapped up the top spot in the NESCAC playoffs, but the tie locked up the fourth and final home playoff spot for Hamilton (13-7-4; 8-6-4). It's the first home playoff game for Hamilton in the Rob Haberbusch era and the first home game since 2011 when the top seeded Continentals were upset by the eighth seed Wesleyan Cardinals. The Continentals will host fifth seed Middlebury, while Williams will host Tufts, who shocked top seed Trinity from the same eight seed spot last year.
Middlebury 3 Amherst 1
Box Score
Middlebury (7-10-7; 6-5-7) jumped out to a 3-0 lead and Liam Moorfield-Yee made 21 saves on Senior Day to lift the Panthers to the season sweep of Amherst (9-11-4; 7-8-3). The win gives Middlebury the fifth seed and a trip to Clinton, NY while the loss drops Amherst to the sixth seed to travel to Brunswick to face the third seed Polar Bears of Bowdoin. It's the first road NESCAC game in the Quarterfinals for the Purple and White since 2007, when they finished fifth in the final regular season standings.
