Home-ice advantage for the conference post-season is on the line as the Miami University hockey team (15-14-3, 9-11-2-2 National Collegiate Hockey Conference) travels to University of Minnesota-Duluth (13-14-5, 9-10-3-1 NCHC) this weekend.
The ’Hawks are tied with the Bulldogs at fourth place in the NCHC standings at 31 points. If Miami wins both games this weekend, it will claim the last home ice spot for the playoffs. If the two-game series is split, Miami loses the tiebreaker because Duluth would have the better head-to-head win percentage.
The two teams faced off earlier in the season in Oxford.
