With Christmas out of the way, three teams took a break from the winter recess to compete on Friday and Sunday, but the games proved difficult for the Bulldogs. Though all three teams saw losses, the men's hockey team (7–4–2) beat a Russian touring team 10–2 on Friday—the only win last week—only to lose 5–4 to Holy Cross on Sunday. The Bulldogs head to Boston College next Friday.
