Women's Reset (One Week Out)

Quinnipiac (14-2-4) has clinched a home ice playoff series and will finish either 1st or 2nd. They can clinch the #1 seed with a win or tie against Union on Friday.

Clarkson (12-3-5) clinched home ice on Saturday by virtue of their tie with Quinnipiac. They can lock up at least the #2 seed with a win over Brown on Friday.

Princeton (13-6-1) has clinched a playoff berth. They can clinch home ice with a win against RPI, a tie and a Harvard tie, or simply a Harvard loss on Friday.

Colgate (11-4-5) has clinched a playoff berth. They can clinch home ice with a win or tie against Harvard on Friday.

Harvard (11-6-3) has clinched a playoff berth and can finish no lower than their current position, 5th. They cannot earn home ice until Saturday, but they would be eliminated from contention for home ice if they lose on Friday.

St. Lawrence (8-8-4) and RPI (8-8-4) could both clinch playoff berths on Friday with a win, a tie and a Cornell loss/tie, or simply a Cornell loss. They can finish no higher than 6th, the position for which they are currently tied.

Yale (9-10-1) can clinch a playoff berth on Friday with a win and a Cornell loss.

Cornell (7-9-4) cannot earn a playoff berth until Saturday, but they would be eliminated from the playoffs with a loss and a Yale win.

Dartmouth (6-11-3) has been eliminated from playoff contention. They could tie Yale for 8th, but would lose the tiebreaker with the Bulldogs and could not finish 8th in a three-way tie with Cornell and Yale.

Brown (1-16-3) and Union (0-17-3) will finish in 11th or 12th.
