Stonehill vs Mercyhurst Prediction

The Mercyhurst Lakers should have their chances to win this game at home, but I’m not betting on it. The Mercyhurst Lakers have lost 5 of their last 6 games and their offense has been a mess. Mercyhurst has scored 60 or fewer points in three straight games. Yes, Mercyhurst has seen four of its six wins come at home, but who cares? The Stonehill Skyhawks have more bite offensively, and they’ve covered six of their last eight games. It’s hard to get behind Mercyhurst with confidence, and we’re not being asked to lay much. Just a bucket. Give me Stonehill for a second road win this season.
