The Icedogs live for another week.

BU advanced to the semifinals of the Hockey East tournament by winning tonight's deciding game with PC by another 2-0 score. Goalie John Curry now hasn't given up a goal in just over 168 minutes of play (the last two full games and the time he was in net after PC's second goal on Friday; their other two were both empty netters). His shutout streak was mentioned twice tonight in the third period, yet such fate-tempting didn't lead to the expected Friars goal.

Tonight was less chippy while still physical. The most damaging hit of the night was on the referee, as he collided with a PC player that was coming out of the penalty box. The game continued without the ref for the rest of the period, with him returning for the start of the following one. Consensus among us at the game was that he got the arm he hurt good and numb, and he didn't move it all that much the rest of the night.

The Terriers move on to the semis, where they'll face UNH. Speaking of shutout streaks...

Good news tonight too for the men's hoops team. They made the NIT, and will travel to DC to take on Georgetown in the first round. Northeastern also got in, though they'll be making a longer trip to face off against Memphis. Holy Cross (for the locals who care) get to face off with intra-religion foes Notre Dame. Unfortunately, the winner of this game does not have a shot at the University of San Francisco or St. Joe's in the following round.
