College Hockey Scoreboard

 It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for November 30, 2024.  

We’ll start with the men’s action and to do that, we’ll first go to Belfast, Northern Ireland where No. 13 Boston U. scored three goals in the final period to claim the Friendship Four title with a 4-3 win over Notre Dame. Ryan Green tied the game with just under four minutes left before Shane Lachance netted the game-winner 30 seconds later to lift the Terriers. Harvard took the Friendship Four’s third-place game with a 4-2 win over Merrimack, as Casey Severo scored twice, including the game-winner just 18 seconds into the third period. 

At the Adirondack Winter Invitational in Lake Placid, it was John Mustard, in the 1980 Rink at Herb Brooks Arena, in Lake Placid with the game-winner. Those of you over 40 might get the reference. Providence takes their second game at the Adirondack Winter Invitational over St. Lawrence 2-1. 

No. 16 UMass Lowell technically tied its second game of the Adirondack Winter Invitational, tying No. 20 Clarkson 4-4, but the River Hawks took the shootout. Since the games were pre-determined and there was no first place game as I said incorrectly on last night's show, So who wins the tournament? 

Was it actually a tournament? Well, Providence won both its games, so probably them. I think. Maybe. Just bracket the thing.

No. 3 Minnesota scored four goals in the third period to fend off Alaska 5-2. Brody Lamb netted his 10th goal of the season, and Leo Gruba scored his first career goal as the Gophers improved to 13-2-1.
