College Hockey Weekly Report A BU-Tiful weekend

For the first time since the 2001-2002 season the Boston University Terriers took the Hockey East season series from the Boston College Eagles.

After trailing BC 2-0 in the first period, the Terriers took over from there. BU would score 2 in the second period to tie it at 2 with goals from Kevin Schaeffer and Eric Thomassian. In the third period 1:32 in to be exact BU scored the game winning goal when Brandon Yip scored. BU would add another goal from Brad Zancanaro to make it 4-2. BC made it close however with a goal from Brett Motherwell to make it 4-3 but it wasant enough as the Terriers survived in Chestnut Hill. John Curry was brilliant in net stopping 30 of 33 BC shots on goal.

On Saturday Kenny Roche, Brian Ewing and Peter McArthur each scored a goal in the 3-1 victory over UMASS-Amherst.

Boston College did get a W on Saturday night as well as Brian Boyle scored 4 goals in the 4-3 overtime victory over UMASS-Lowell.

We are getting close to the Beanpot and things will get intresting. Can BU win #27, will BC come out hungry if they face BU in the finals, or will one of the underdogs (Northeastern, Harvard) steal a beanpot victory.
