A showdown between UNH and Brown, the only two undefeated teams, looms large on the horizon. Providence continued its turn-around, now winning four straight games after weekend victories over NU and Harvard. Cornell was the other big mover last week, downing Dartmouth and Boston College. NU recorded a shocker, with two late goals 13 seconds apart to salvage a 2-2 tie with Brown. Each ECAC team has played 12 league games to this point and has just four games left to make its move for a playoff berth. The quarterfinals take place on March 2-3, while the ECAC Championship is set for March 9-10 at UNH's Whittemore Center. Providence is the four-time defending champion.
