With the weather forecast predicting significant snow for the region, you should check schedules to find out about postponements.

COMMONWEALTH WOMEN

Messiah (8-1) travels to Alvernia (6-3) as each team battles to maintain their position in the standings. Messiah wants to head into next weeks game with LVC with the chance to get back into at least a tie for first; Alvernia doesn't want to drop any lower than third. Widener (6-3), tied with Alvernia, faces Lebanon Valley (9-0) and will be looking for the home upset to stay in third place. Arcadia (0-9) travels to Lyoming (3-6) and Albright (2-7) visits Elizabethtown (2-7) for bragging rights.

FREEDOM WOMEN

After a slow start, DeSales (6-3) is back in the mix and has a chance to improve their position as they host #1 Delaware Valley (7-2). Manhattanville (7-2) should hold onto a share of first place as they travel to Wilkes (1-8). FDU (4-5) hosts King's (5-4) in a must win situation - a loss, and the Devils are on the outside looking in. Misericordia (6-3) looks to stay in the upper echelon as they travel to Eastern (0-9).

COMMONWEALTH MEN

Messiah (5-4) and Alvernia (5-4) have a major battle brewing as the winner could be looking at second place; the loser could be vying with several other teams for fourth. Another key match up pits Lebanon Valley (4-5) at Widener (4-5). These two teams are regular tournament participants, but a loss here may put them out of contention. Each has won their first two games in the second go round in the schedule. Lycoming (6-3) hopes to get back on the winning track against Arcadia (0-9) after close losses to Albright and LVC. Despite their record, the Arcadia men have played LVC and Alvernia tough in the last two outings. The final game has first place Albright (7-2) hitting the road to Elizabethtown (5-4). On Wednesday, the Lions lost a heartbreaker to Widener and the Blue Jays were outlasted by Messiah in a 1 point game.

FREEDOM MEN

Eastern (6-3), after knocking off the two top conference teams (DeSales and King's) , heads to Misericordia (5-4), winner of their last two against DVC and Wilkes. DeSales (8-1) hosts Delaware Valley (4-5), a tough assignment for the Aggies as they want to stay in tournament contention. Wilkes (3-6) hosts Manhattanville 4-5) in a must win for both programs - the loser will have a tough time getting back into the race for a tournament sport. King's (6-3) hopes to keep a grip on second as they play FDU (0-9) in Madison.
