Amherst College vs. MIT

Amherst enters this matchup holding a historic 8-5 advantage over MIT. The Mammoths are currently riding a three-match winning streak against the Engineers, though the margins have been razor-thin. Their most recent meeting on December 4, 2024, resulted in a tight 5–4 victory for Amherst. MIT will look to secure a win over Amherst.

Hamilton College vs. University of Rochester
Saturday, February 7 at 5:00 p.m. | Hamilton College

Hamilton hosts Rochester looking to overturn a decisive result from last season. In their previous meeting in February 2025, Rochester dominated the contest with an 8–1 victory.
