Pick
I’m backing Merrimack here. There’s simply no backing Hartford as the Hawks just look like they’re playing out the string and are just taking it all in one last time before making the drop to D-III. Merrimack has been playing some solid ball as of late and I just don’t see any reason to step in front of Merrimack with Hartford here. Give me the Warriors here.
