PROVIDENCE -- It’s not really a surprise that Tuesday night’s Mayor’s Cup game at Meehan Auditorium is a match up of teams headed in opposite directions.
The surprise is in the fact that it is Providence College that is stumbling, while Brown University is on the upswing.
The Friars – ranked 10th and 11th in Monday’s national polls – are in an 0-2-1 dip. They dropped close decisions to Boston College and Boston University over the weekend.
Brown -- picked for last place in the ECAC coaches poll -- is on a 4-1-2 roll and coming off a championship in the Three Rivers Classic in Pittsburgh 10 days ago.
