 AMHERST, Mass. – No. 1 seed University of Massachusetts hockey will take on No. 7 seed Boston College on Friday, March 22, in the Hockey East Semifinal at 7:30 p.m. at the TD Garden in Boston. The matchup, which will be televised live on NESNplus and streamed online on FloHockey.tv outside NESN's New England coverage area, will determine which team will advance to Saturday's Hockey East Championship game at 7 p.m.
Â
The Minutemen earned their first Hockey East Semifinals berth since 2007 after sweeping No. 8 seed New Hampshire in two games at the Mullins Center this past weekend. UMass erased a 3-0 second period deficit for a thrilling 5-4 double overtime win in game one and then blanked the Wildcats in game two, 6-0. The Minutemen, currently 28-8-0 on the season, are 1-2 in previous Hockey East Semifinals matchups.
Â
BC advanced to the Garden after upsetting No. 2 seed Providence in three games in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. The Eagles dropped game one to the Friars, 5-4 in overtime, but rallied to take games two and three 4-3 (OT) and 2-1, respectively. BC is just the third No. 7 seed to reach the semifinals in league history after Vermont (2015) and Providence (2012).
