ALBANY, NY -- Last weekend's action answered a few questions, but brought about even more postseason senarios that will be played out in the final weekend of play.  Clarkson and Princeton are the only teams that have now clinched first-round byes.  The Golden Knights are just one point ahead of the Tigers for the top spot in league standings, while others are jockeying for positions. 

Winners of 12 of its last 14 contests No. 12 Princeton secured a first-round bye for the ECAC Hockey playoffs with a 7-2 win over Colgate and a 2-1 win over Cornell Saturday night in front of a sellout crowd at Hobey Baker Rink.  Junior Lee Jubinville, and freshmen Kevin Lohry and Mike Kramer each recorded three points in the win over the Raiders.  Princeton outshot Colgate 43-17.  Tigers' sophomore netminder Zane Kalemba made 15 saves for the win.  The Tigers, who have never finished higher than fourth in the regular season, were aided on offense by sophomore Jody Pederson and junior Brett Wilson, who each scored in the win over Cornell. 

The Big Red earned a split last weekend as junior forward Michael Kennedy netted a goal with 19.4 seconds remaining in overtime which gave Cornell a 3-2 victory over Quinnipiac Friday.  Sophomore goaltender Ben Scrivens stopped 33 shots for the victory for the Big Red, who are now tied for fourth in the league standings. 

The Raiders were also winners in overtime as they bounced back from Friday's defeat to hand Quinnipiac a 4-3 overtime loss.  Junior Peter Bogdanich scored with exactly one minute left in the extra-session to lift Colgate back over .500 at 14-13-5 overall.  Raiders' senior goaltender Mark Dekanich earned the win for Colgate after making 26 saves. 

No. 9 Clarkson is hanging onto first place in league play with its eyes on the Cleary Cup, as the Golden Knights earned three points in their weekend visit to the Capital District.  Senior Steve Zalewski notched his 100th career point with a power-play tally, and freshmen Tom Pizzo and Brandon DeFazio also scored goals to pace the Clarkson offense to a 3-3 tie at Union.  Senior David Leggio made 34 saves as Union outshot the Knights 37-27.  Clarkson upended Rensselaer Saturday, 3-1, as senior Nick Dodge set a new team record for career shorthanded goals when he sealed the Knights' win with an empty-net score with 44 seconds remaining.  Dodge has nine shorthanded tallies for his career, including four this season. 

With a 3-2 victory over St. Lawrence Saturday, the Dutchmen also picked-up three points in league play.  Senior forward Mike Bowles netted the game-winning goal and added an assist, while senior goaltender Justin Mrazek stopped a career-high 46 shots to earn the win.

The Crimson are back in the national polls at the No. 20 position after earning four league points last weekend with a 6-1 win over Yale and a 2-1 stopping of Brown.  Sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter allowed just two goals, both on the power play, on 55 shots faced in a pair of wins last weekend against rivals Yale and Brown.  He also became the first Harvard goalie to score a goal, getting credit for the score in the second period of Friday's win against Yale.

Dartmouth earned a weekend split as seniors Nick Johnson, J.T. Wyman and Jon Grecu each recorded multiple-point games in topping Yale, 7-2.
