Hockey East Semifinals
Maine v. Boston College
With the Black Bears back in Beantown, the Maineacs flooded the Garden to watch Maine take on Boston College. However, it would be a troubling start for Maine. The Eagles soared to an early lead, thanks to Alex Newhook's impressive individual effort. Newhook won a puck battle behind the net, then muscled to the side of the crease where his wrister deflected off Black Bear netminder Jeremy Swayman's blocker and into the back of the net. BC then took a two-goal lead midway through the first on the powerplay on Matt Boldy's one-timer from the far circle. Swayman would rebound from the tough start, blanking the Eagles in the rest of the first, same as his counterpart Spencer Knight, and after twenty minutes Boston College led 2-0. BC nearly took a three-goal lead early in the second when JD Greenway lost an edge in the neutral zone, leading to a partial breakaway for Jack McBain. Swayman would stone the Sophomore forward, and just moments later the Black Bears pulled within a goal thanks to Adam Dawe's wrister that found Knight's five hole. Swayman and Knight would engage in an epic goaltender battle for the rest of the second period, and BC held a 2-1 advantage going into the third. The Eagles mounted a strong attack early in the third, but were unable to solve Swayman. As the minutes waned, Knight continued his strong performance. However, with just over three minutes to go, Maine's Mitchell Fossier found just enough space to let fly a wrister from the slot that flew past Knight's ear and into the back of the net to send the crowd in blue in an uproar as Maine tied the game at 2. Extra time was necessary, and midway through the overtime session, BC's Luke McInnis was called for tripping, and Maine's Tim Doherty ripped a wrister past Knight's outstretched glove to give the Black Bears the 3-2 victory, and a spot in the Hockey East Championship.
Figures that McInnis ends up being the goat again...

Atlantic Hockey Semifinals
Army v. AIC
The Black Knights of Army squared off with the Yellow Jackets of AIC in this afternoon's AHA Semifinal. Army's Zach Evancho started the scoring near the midpoint of the first period on a wrister from the near circle that beat AIC netminder Zackarias Skog blocker-side. The Black Knights extended their lead shortly thereafter, when Mason Krueger found John Zimmerman at the point, who blasted a slap shot through traffic and past Skog to give Army a 2-0 advantage. The Black Knights maintained their two-goal lead until early in the second period when AIC's Elijah Barriga potted the Yellow Jackets' first goal of the night on a one-timer from the top of the far circle. The Yellow Jackets had numerous opportunities to knot the score at two in the second, but Army's Trevin Kozlowski kept AIC at the single goal, which gave Army a one-goal lead through forty minutes. Kozlowski continued his impressive performance early in the third after Army went two men down, stopping each of AIC's three powerplay shots on goal. Army's Michael Wilson then tallied an insurance goal for the Black Knights late in the third period, and when the final horn sounded, the Army Black Knights advanced to the AHA Championship tomorrow night thanks to a 3-1 victory.

Hockey East Semifinals
Massachusetts Lowell v. Massachusetts
Lowell and Amherst...a rivalry like no other...renewed itself this evening in the Hockey East Semifinals. John Leonard put the Minutemen up early, pushing his own rebound past Tyler Wall to put UMASS up 1-0. Wall kept Massachusetts off the board the rest of the way in the first period though, despite the Minutemen launching an incredible 16 shots on frame, and after one, UMASS led Lowell 1-0. The RiverHawks responded early in the second when Andre Lee took a loose puck in the near corner, and whistled a wrister on net that deflected off a Massachusetts defender and past Minutemen goalie Matt Murray and into the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1. Murray and Wall then battled in a classic goaltender dual in the second period, with Wall stopping each of UMASS' 9 shots on goal, and Murray fending off Lowell's last six shots of the period, and it was all square at 1-1 through forty minutes. Murray and Wall continued their dual in the third, with each goalie trying to outdo the other. With just over four minutes to play, Lowell's Lee got called for boarding. The officials reviewed the play to see if it would be called a major penalty for checking from behind. After a lengthy review, the minor call stood. Wall stood tall on the penalty kill, and after sixty minutes of action, the game remained tied 1-1. Both sides played cautious early in the extra frame, and it appeared that a second overtime would be necessary. However, with just over three minutes to play in overtime, Seth Barton launched a blast from the near boards that went wide on the near side, but ricocheted off the boards and right onto the stick of Lucas Condotta. Condotta lifted a wrister over the outstretched blocker of Murray and into the net to give the RiverHawks a 2-1 victory, and a spot in the Hockey East final.
