It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 21, 2025. That pot of beans was simmering in TD Garden tonight in Boston. Even though I’m not a hockey lifer, I find the Beanpot, mens or women’s, to be a cool event to watch. But you’re not here for my insight. You’re not even here for my beans, which as I mentioned last week, will go in my chili. There’s no breakdowns, no analysis, no recipes, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES.

This show isn’t very long - let’s see if I can get this on one take.
 
Women's Beanpot
#15 Northeastern 4, Boston U. 0 
Lily Shannon scored her ninth goal of the season as Northeastern won its third straight Women's Beanpot by taking a 4-0 win over Boston U. at TD Garden. Lisa Jönsson earned her fifth shutout of the season, stopping 30 shots in net.

#12 Boston College 4, Harvard 1
In the third place game, No. 12 Boston College got goals from four different players, including the 13th goal of the season from Julia Pellerin to stop Harvard 4-1.

Men
Bentley 6, American International 1
Artem Bouzoverya scored twice as five different players scored, giving Bentley a 6-1 win over host AIC. The Falcons improved to 13-10-2 and closed within four points of conference leader Sacred Heart. AIC fell to 7-16-1 after their administration did them super dirty.

Brown 5, Merrimack 1
Dean Bauchiero scored twice and Max Scott scored his 11th of the season to lead Brown to a 5-1 win over Merrmiack in North Andover.

Stonehill 7, St. Anselm 0
Seven different players scored as Stonehill swarmed Division II St. Anselm 7-0. Got a Stonehill puck in the mail today too - shout out to Matt Nelson on the trade there.

Rest in peace to my man Pete Medhurst.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 17-18, 2025. In case you’re wondering, another busy weekend for me on the mic - this time back with the frozen - and I DO MEAN FROZEN - landscape here in Minnesota. Game time temperature on Saturday was ZERO. So here’s the quick hits on what went down on Friday and Saturday. No breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

On the Men’s side
In the Big Ten, #10 Michigan edged #1 Michigan State 3-2 in overtime on Friday, but Michigan State bounced back with a 4-1 win on Saturday.  #3 Minnesota defeated Notre Dame 5-2 on Friday, but Notre Dame rebounded with a 4-3 overtime win Saturday. 

Michigan State leads the Big Ten with 32 points, one ahead of second-place Minnesota. Ohio State is eight points back of second with 23. 

In the NCHC, #4 Western Michigan topped #14 North Dakota at The Ralph in both games, 3-2 in overtime and 5-1. #13 Arizona State earned two wins over #15 St. Cloud State, 6-3 and 5-3. Colorado College split with Minnesota-Duluth, winning 7-2 before falling 4-1. 

Newcomer Arizona State leads with 25 points, one point ahead of second-place Western Michigan. The Broncos have played two less conference games. Omaha’s a point behind Western with 23. 

In Hockey East, #2 Boston College shut out #6 Providence 3-0 on Friday and completed the sweep with a 4-1 win on Saturday.  #17 UConn beat #5 Maine 4-2 Friday, but the teams tied 3-3 on Saturday, with Maine winning the shootout. #11 Boston University defeated #19 New Hampshire twice, 6-3 and 2-1 in overtime. 

BU, BC, Maine and UConn are all within four points of one another. BU, BC and Maine have played 13 conference games, while UConn’s played 15. BU leads with 28 points. BC and Maine are tied at 26. 

In the ECAC, #16 Quinnipiac beat Colgate 6-3 Friday, but Cornell tied Quinnipiac 2-2 Saturday, winning the shootout. Brown defeated #20 Clarkson 4-2 after a 3-2 overtime win against St. Lawrence. Dartmouth topped Union 4-0 Friday and RPI 5-3 Saturday, while Harvard split its weekend, falling 5-2 to RPI and topping Union 4-1.

Quinnipiac leads with 28 points, six ahead of second-place Dartmouth, which has two games in hand. Clarkson has three in hand and sits seven points back with Union, but Union’s only got one in hand. Might have to get you a proverb book or something.  

In the CCHA, Michigan Tech and #12 Minnesota State split with Tech winning 1-0 in overtime after a 5-2 loss Friday. Bowling Green and Ferris State also split with close victories for both. Northern Michigan’s won three of its last four after starting out 1-18-1 in the first 20 games of the Dave Shyiak era.  The Wildcats swept Bemidji State 4-1 and 3-1, while St. Thomas edged Lake Superior State with an overtime win on Friday and a tie and shootout win on Saturday.  

Since Augustana has basically half a conference schedule, the CCHA is using points percentage this year to determine its standings and right now, Minnesota State is standing just below 73 percent, ahead of second-place Augustana which is at the 66666 repeating. 

In Atlantic Hockey, Sacred Heart swept American International, 5-2 and 6-3. Army West Point defeated Air Force twice, 3-2 and 4-3. Holy Cross won both games against Bentley, 3-2 in overtime and 5-1. Mercyhurst and Niagara split their series, with Mercyhurst winning 5-1 before falling 6-3. 

Sacred Heart is out in front with 41 points, seven ahead of second-place Bentley, which has two games in hand. 

In non-conference action, Penn State swept Canisius with wins of 4-0 and 3-2. Alaska-Anchorage and Alaska tied 3-3 Saturday, with UAA taking the shootout in the Governor’s Cup. Alaska Test Represent, Anchorage version. Wisconsin earned a 6-3 win over LIU Friday, followed by a 2-2 tie and a shootout win Saturday.


In women’s action: 
#1 Wisconsin dominated St. Thomas with a 6-1 win before an even more commanding 11-1 victory. #2 Ohio State defeated #4 Minnesota-Duluth twice, 3-1 and 2-1, while #3 Minnesota earned back-to-back wins over Minnesota State, 8-3 and 5-2. 

Wisconsin’s light years ahead of the field, leading the WCHA with 55 points. Minnesota and Ohio State are tied with 39 points, but Minnesota has two games in hand. Minnesota-Duluth is fourth in the conference, fourth in the nation and fifth in the pairwise.

In the ECAC, #5 Colgate beat #10 Quinnipiac 4-2 and later shut out #13 Princeton 4-0. #6 Cornell posted a pair of strong victories, defeating #13 Princeton 6-1 and #10 Quinnipiac 4-1. Yale upset #7 Clarkson 2-1, while Brown edged out #8 St. Lawrence 4-3 and later topped #7 Clarkson 3-2 in overtime. #8 St. Lawrence bounced back with a 1-0 shutout over Yale. 

Colgate and Cornell are tied atop the ECAC with 33 points each, St. Lawrence is a half-point behind in third. All three teams are in the top eight in the pairwise. 

In the Atlantic Hockey America, #9 Penn State edged Syracuse 1-0 in overtime and followed with a 4-0 win. Mercyhurst earned two wins over Lindenwood, 3-1 and 5-2. RIT shut out Robert Morris 2-0, but Robert Morris rebounded with a thrilling 5-4 overtime win. 

Penn State’s firmly in command with 33 points, nine points ahead of second-place Mercyhurst.

In Hockey East, #12 Boston College blanked Vermont 3-0. Maine and #15 UConn tied 2-2, with Maine winning the shootout, while #15 UConn returned to take a 3-0 win on Saturday. Providence defeated #15 Northeastern twice, 5-1 and 3-2. New Hampshire upset #14 Boston U. 2-0. 

Boston College and UConn sit atop of Hockey East with 37 points, with Boston U. one point behind but with a game-in-hand. Northeastern is fourth, four points behind BU. Boston College sits ninth in the pairwise, while the rest of Hockey East is currently outside of the cutline.

In the NEWHA, LIU beat Assumption twice, 3-1 and 2-1. St. Anselm beat St. Michael’s 3-1 before losing 2-1 on Saturday. Stonehill tied Sacred Heart 3-3, winning in the shootout, and then shut them out 3-0. 

LIU and Sacred Heart are tied atop the NEWHA with 36 points. Franklin Pierce is third with 33 points. NEWHA will be a one-bid league this year again. 

Since Mike McMahon handles the men’s pairwise breakdowns in his newsletter on Mondays, I won’t go that route, but since there isn’t a regular feature on that for the women, here’s my attempt.

Current cutline is 10 as Penn State out of Atlantic Hockey America sits seventh. To borrow Mike McMahon’s methodology, the WCHA would have four of the 11 teams - Wisconsin, Ohio State, Minnesota and Minnesota-Duluth, assuming one of the four there is the conference tournament winner. Give the AQ’s to Penn State out of Atlantic Hockey and Boston College out of Hockey East, despite that race being wide open. The ECAC has four - Cornell, Colgate, St. Lawrence and Quinnipiac. The 11th spot would go to the NEWHA winner.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 14, 2025. I made chili today, there were plenty of beans, even though some people will sit there and insist chili shouldn’t have beans. No one asked you. Speaking of beans, it’s the Women’s Beanpot and that’s where we’ll go first. As always, you don’t come to me for breakdowns or analysis, I got what you crave. JUST. THE. SCORES. 

Women’s Beanpot
#15 Northeastern 4, #12 Boston College 2
No. 15 Northeastern jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and took out No. 12 Boston College 4-2 to advance to next week’s Women’s Beanpot finals. Lily Shannon scored her eighth of the year for the Huskies, who improved to 14-6-1 on the season.

#14 Boston U. 2, Harvard 1, OT
Lindsay Bochna’s fifth of the year came in overtime as No. 14 Boston U. advanced to face Northeastern with a 2-1 win over Harvard. Harvard went up 1-0 early in the third, but Sydney Healey’s extra attacker goal with under a minute left gave the Terriers life. Bochna finished off the Crimson with just over a minute left in the extra frame.

The other game on the docket saw #6 Cornell explode for five straight goals after falling behind 2-0, including three to start the third period in a 6-3 win over Syracuse. Lindzi Avar scored her eighth of the year, while Karel Prefontaine netted her sixth of the year. Syracuse’s Bryn Saarela scored her 13th of the season for the Orange.

Men’s NOT Beanpot
#2 Boston College 3, Harvard 1
In not-yet-Beanpot action in Chestnut Hill, No. 2 Boston College improved to 14-4-1 with a 3-1 win at Conte over Harvard. Teddy “USA” Stiga, Will Vote, and Brady Berard each scored for the Eagles.

Robert Morris vs. Canisius
This one was postponed due to severe winter weather. See, when I hear severe winter weather and it’s Western PA, then I believe it. Not like this chrud we had in Virginia last week. And when I say chrud, I don’t mean the statistical measure by the Husky Hockey Podcast. I mean crappy weather, which is something we know a little bit about here in Minnesota. Donchaknow. 

I’m Jason Bryant @jasonmbryant on the socials and that’s your College Hockey Scoreboard for January 14, 2025.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 10-12, 2025. No, I’m not a slacker - this show’s more a hobby. There’s that other sport that involves cauliflower ear that’s my actual main job, so I was on the road doing things for that wrestling stuff back in my home state of Virginia where school systems pulled high school teams out of competition for what amounted to be a dusting of snow. That’s just soft. Not like here, where my wife shoveled the driveway AFTER putting the kids on the bus in the snow.  It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. And this time - I really just mean ONLY the scores.


Men’s Weekend Recap:
In the Big Ten, #1 Michigan State took four of six points in its weekend series with Penn State, winning 6-4 on Friday before falling in a shootout after a 2-2 tie on Saturday. #3 Minnesota had a split weekend, losing 5-1 to #11 Ohio State on Friday but bouncing back with a dominant 6-1 win on Saturday. In Hockey East, #2 Boston College was upset 5-2 by Merrimack on Friday but rebounded with a 4-1 win on Saturday. #7 Maine swept #8 UMass Lowell, winning 3-1 and 2-1. #15 Boston University handled Vermont with a pair of decisive wins, 6-1 and 7-4. In the NCHC, #6 Denver swept Miami, taking 4-1 and 6-2 victories, while Minnesota-Duluth topped #10 St. Cloud State, winning 2-0 and 5-2. Omaha swept #13 Colorado College with scores of 5-2 and 3-1, and #14 North Dakota split their series with #16 Arizona State, losing 4-1 on Friday but claiming a 4-3 overtime win on Saturday.

No, I’m not going to play the semantics games with the differences in what a split is. So if you hear me say split, and it’s like a win and an OT win, don’t put too much thought into it - I clearly didn’t. I also think the USCHO voters might need to look at the NCHC teams a little bit differently after recent slides. Moving on.

In the ECAC, #19 Clarkson topped Union 5-3 on Friday, but RPI flipped the script with a 4-1 upset of Clarkson on Saturday. #20 Quinnipiac defeated Princeton 4-2 and 3-0.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 7, 2025. Light night on the ice with everything taking place in New England.  It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

On the men’s side, No. 5 Providence used two third-period goals to claim a 2-0 Mayor’s Cup win over cross-town rival Brown. 

Logan Will and Hudson Malinoski scored for the Friars, who now sit at 15-3-2. 

In Atlantic Hockey, American International erupted for eight goals in an 8-2 win over Army West Point in Springfield - the home of the Basketball Hall of Fame and the place formerly known as Rockin’ Rollin’ Riverside - I spent a summer up there in 1992. I never went to either place.

That summer sucked. 

What didn’t suck was Justin Mexico’s stat line -  he had a standout performance with two goals and three assists, while Oscar Geschwind also netted two goals for the Yellowjackets. 

In Hockey East women’s action, No. 12 Boston College defeated New Hampshire 4-0, with four different players scoring, including Julia Pellerin, who netted her 11th goal of the season. The win gave Boston College a one-point lead in the Hockey East standings. Grace Campbell was stellar in net, stopping 31 shots for her third shutout of the year and second in a row. 

In non-conference action, Northeastern secured a 4-3 victory over Yale at Matthews Arena. Jules Constantinople scored twice, and Lily Shannon added her seventh goal of the year. Northeastern improved to 13-6-1 on the season.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 5, 2025. Let’s wrap up the weekend with a little Red, White and GOLD shall we?  It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

Boston College’s Teddy Stiga scored the game-winner in overtime to lead TEAM USA to the World Junior Championship as the United States rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Finland 4-3 in the gold medal game, avenging and earlier loss in the tournament and giving Team USA back-to-back world championships. 

Denver’s Zeev Buium and Minnesota’s Brodie Ziemer with the assists. 

Other goals scored for Team USA were Boston College’s Cole Hutson and James Hagens and Boston University’s Brandon Svoboda. 

Let’s do it again here in the Twin Cities next year.   

Six games in college puck to close out the weekend, we’ll start with the men. 

No. 9 Michigan rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat No. 13 Ohio State 3-2 in overtime at Yost Arena, splitting the series that began at Wrigley Field. Jackson Hallum scored the OT winner just 20 seconds in, while Gunnarwolfe Fontaine added two goals for the Buckeyes, giving him nine on the season. Remember, when Gunnarwolfe Fontaine scores, we all score. 

Merrimack upended No. 17 Dartmouth 2-1, with Ty Daneault and Antonio Venuto scoring for the Warriors in a result that may hurt the Big Green’s tournament chances. Finally, Charlie Cerrato’s two goals led Penn State to a 3-0 shutout win over Notre Dame in South Bend. 

In women’s action, Julia Pellerin recorded a hat trick to bring her season total to 10 goals as No. 11 Boston College defeated Maine 5-0 in Hockey East, pulling the Eagles within two points of conference leaders UConn and BU. Speaking of the leaders, No. 15 UConn stayed on top with a 3-1 win over Vermont, thanks to a pair of goals from Claire Murdoch.

I’m Jason Bryant @jasonmbryant on the socials and that’s your College Hockey Scoreboard for January 5, 2025.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 4, 2025. Had to stay up a little late to get the action on the ol’ Pacific Time Zone. Who’s hanging out at the palatial estate in Coachella - the rink, not the festival. It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 


We begin with the men at the Frozen Confines … 

#1 Michigan State 4, Wisconsin 3, OT
Daniel Russell found the back of the net with 1.4 seconds to go in overtime as No. 1 Michigan State topped Wisconsin in the finale of the Frozen Confines at Wrigley Field. Russell had a pair of goals to push Michigan State to 17-2-1. Wisconsin falls to 2-6-1 in OT games alone this year.

I’m Jason Bryant @jasonmbryant on the socials and that’s your College Hockey Scoreboard for January 3, 2025

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 2, 2025.  It’s No. 1 vs. No. 2, a rescheduled game on the North Shore … of Minnesota and Sparty trying to fight off an upset in the Big Ten. It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES.
 
Women No. 1 Wisconsin 6, No. 2 Ohio State 0
The drama between the two top-ranked teams in the nation … wasn’t. No. 1 Wisconsin scored quickly to set the tone and dominated second-ranked Ohio State 6-0 to improve to 20-1 on the season. The Badgers got a pair of goals from Lacey Eden and Laila Edwards scored her 19th of the season. Edwards is second in the nation in goals scored and total point. She’s got 40 on the season, five behind national leader and teammate Casey O’Brien, who’s got 45. The Badgers outshot the Buckeyes 36-18 and Ava McNaughton picked up her seventh shutout of the season for Wisconsin. They’ll do it again on Saturday at Wrigley Field for the Frozen Confines outdoor game.
 
No. 4 Minnesota-Duluth 6, Syracuse 2
Olivia Wallin scored twice and Clara Van Wieren scored her 10th of the season as No. 4 Minnesota-Duluth topped Syracuse 6-2 in the first game of a two-game set that was rescheduled from the opening weekend of the season.
 
Men No. 1 Michigan State 4, Wisconsin 3
Isaac Howard scored for the fourth game in a row for his 12th goal of the season helping lead No. 1 Michigan State past visiting Wisconsin 4-3 on Thursday at Munn. Wisconsin jumped out to a 3-1 lead, but three straight goals by Karsen Dorwart, Howard and Charlie Stramel pushed the Spartans to 16-2-1. 

World Juniors
I alluded to the point there wouldn’t be much on World Juniors except some pertinent results, so here’s some pertinent results. Team USA moved into the semifinals after a 7-2 win over Switzerland. The U.S. jumped out to a 4-1 lead after the first and cruised. Boston College’s Ryan Leonard and James Hagens each scored twice and Eagles teammate Gabe Perrault dished out three assists to lead the Americans. 

Canada on the other hand, had just one NCAA player, Maine forward Bradly Nadeau, and he scored, but it was Czechia that bounced the neighbors to the north 4-3 to advance to face Team USA in the semifinals. It’ll be Sweden vs. Finland in the other semi.

And we’re thinking tonight about Minnesota-Duluth’s Will Francis. #WillPower

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for December 31, 2024. Happy New Year folks. Three games, two men, one on the women’s side. You know the deal by now, we’re rolling into 2025 with JUST. THE. SCORES. 

On the women’s side, Lily Delianedis scored her sixth of the season and McKenna Van Gelder scored her fifth of the year as No. 7 Cornell improved to 9-3-2 with a 5-1 win over host RIT.

Carter Rapalje scored twice to give him eight goals on the season as LIU topped Holy Cross 3-1 in a New Year's Eve matinée on Long Island. 

Four different players scored including Jason Shaugabay's sixth of the year as Minnesota-Duluth snapped a four-game skid with a 4-2 win against host Bemidji State. This splits the home-and-home series with the Minnesota schools that began 86 days ago.

That’s … not quite it. It’s not college, but why not, here’s what happened at the World Juniors.

In Group A, The U.S. beat Canada 4-1 with goals scored by Boston College’s Ryan Leonard, Boston University’s Cole Eiserman and Cole Hutson and Notre Dame’s Danny Nelson. 

Finland beat Latvia 3-0, while in Group B, Switzerland beat Kazakhstan 3-1 and Sweden beat Czechia 4-2. 

That’s all I’ve got for World Juniors, this is a college show (for now).
