It’s the #CollegeHockeyScoreboard Show for March 6, 2025. This one’s still on the road in Little Rock, but I’m going to cheat tonight. You’re not hearing my voice. I tagged a bot in for this one. But even with a bot, it’s still just the scores.

Northeastern secured a 2-1 victory over Merrimack at Lawler Rink.  Cam Lund opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period, marking his fifth goal in as many games. The Huskies held their one-goal advantage until late in the third when sophomore Dylan Hryckowian doubled the lead. Merrimack responded with an extra-attacker goal but couldn’t find the equalizer. Northeastern goaltender Cameron Whitehead made 28 saves, while Joaquim Lemay contributed two assists and a career-high five blocked shots.

Boston University dominated No. 6 Providence with an 8-2 win on Thursday at Agganis Arena, locking up the No. 3 seed in the Hockey East Tournament. Freshman Cole Eiserman recorded his second hat trick of the season, while junior Quinn Hutson set a career high with four assists. The Terriers built a 4-0 lead after the first period and extended it to 6-0 before Providence got on the board. BU netminder Mikhail Yegorov stopped 34 shots in the victory. The Terriers will host a quarterfinal game in the Hockey East Tournament on March 15.

Greetings from Wichita, home of the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder. It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for March 5, 2025. Postseason hockey is the best hockey, right? Maybe a bit more than the scores as we’re whittling down the teams in the 2024-25 season, but here’s the scores.
 
The stage is set for the Hockey East Championship after two thrilling semifinal matchups. Fifth-seeded Northeastern pulled off a comeback win over top-seeded UConn, 3-1, to advance to its ninth straight title game. UConn struck first on a power-play goal in the second period, but Skylar Irving took over in the third, scoring twice to flip the game in Northeastern’s favor. Junior Lily Brazis added an insurance goal, and freshman goalie Lisa Jönsson made 36 saves to backstop the Huskies - the Northeastern ones - into the final.
 
Their opponent will be Boston University, after a dramatic double-overtime victory over Boston College. Graduate student Lindsay Bochna played the hero, knocking in the game-winner off a rebound to lift BU past BC, 3-2. The Terriers erased deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 with goals from Clara Yuhn and Riley Walsh to force extra time.
 
Senior Callie Shanahan was lights out in net, finishing with 38 saves, including 18 after the second intermission. Northeastern and BU will clash for the Hockey East crown on Saturday at noon, with the game airing live on ESPNEWS.
 
In the NEWHA Tournament, LIU secured its spot in the championship game with a 2-0 shutout over Post at Northwell Health Ice Center. Ryane Kearns put the Sharks ahead just 28 seconds into the second period, and Jeannie Waller added a third-period goal to seal the win.
 
Goaltender Abbie Thompson stopped all 14 shots she faced for her third consecutive shutout, pushing LIU’s tournament scoreless streak to eight periods.
 
The top-seeded Sharks now prepare to face Sacred Heart, who blanked Saint Anselm 3-0 behind a stellar 50-save effort from Carly Greene. Bria Holm, Sami Bowlby, and Grayson Limke provided the scoring to send the Pioneers to the final. LIU and Sacred Heart will battle for the NEWHA championship and an NCAA tournament berth on Saturday at 7 p.m.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for March 1-2, 2025. No excuses. I’m just a busy guy this time of year. Oh by the way, that whole four-overtime thriller in Division III women’s action was at Augsburg, where I spent Friday and Saturday announcing a regional wrestling championship. Anyway. I’ve got wrestling content in my main life. This is hockey life, where there’s No breakdowns. No Analysis. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES.
Let’s start with the women, who are full on into the postseason, with four series (or serieses?) being pushed to a third game on Sunday.
In Atlantic Hockey America, No. 8 Penn State finished off RIT with a 4-0 shutout to sweep its AHA semifinal series, while Mercyhurst evened its series with Syracuse at 1-1 with a 4-0 win on Saturday and then put five in the net to advance to the finals to face Penn State after a 5-2 win over Syracuse.

No. 2 Ohio State wrapped up its series against St. Thomas with a 4-1 win.

In Atlantic Hockey’s first round, Air Force outlasted Robert Morris 4-3 in overtime, while Canisius shut out Mercyhurst 2-0. In non-conference action, LIU blanked Alaska 2-0. I mistakenly posted an incorrect score on Friday’s recap show. AIC beat RIT on Friday, not the other way around

And yes, there comes a time when you have do to that whole mea culpa thing. I make mistakes. Often times, it’s simply reading a box score and transposing some numbers when I write the script. If you’ve ever heard me botch something and just move on - that’s what happens. I’ll either get it the next time through, or I just won’t dwell on it knowing the shelf life of these episodes are usually 24-48 hours. If you heard something here that was incorrect and you went with it - that’s on me. I am a bit of a stickler for fast and complete results, but sometimes I’ll read something on a score the next day, go back and see something and I could have sworn it wasn’t that way when I typed it in. I’m not proud of it. This first season of the show has been a lesson in brevity, self-editing and more importantly education. I wanted to learn more about college hockey and use my skillset that I’ve helped enhance with wrestling to the sport I’ve quickly developed a fondness for. I hate mistakes. I hate boneheaded mistakes even more. Doesn’t mean they won’t happen. But when they do, and I identify the point of failure - whether it be my fault or the fault of whatever it is I’m getting the information from - I’ll still own that it falls on me. Thanks for listening.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 28, 2025. Shortest month of the year with a ton of games regardless. The women have conference tournaments all over the place, while the men are in the home stretch. There’s No breakdowns. No Analysis. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

Let’s start with the women, going that whole alphabetical thing by conference tournament. 

No. 8 Penn State took the opener of its AHA semifinals series with RIT, 3-2, behind a two-goal effort from Tessa Janecke. Mercyhurst blanked Syracuse 1-0 in the other semifinal. 

In the ECAC quarterfinals, No. 5 Colgate jumped out to a 3-0 lead on an Elyssa Biederman natural hat trick and went on to beat No. 13 Princeton 5-2.

Third-ranked Michigan State is now tied for first place with a 5-2 win over Notre Dame, Isaac Howard tallying his 23rd goal of the year. No. 15 Penn State pulled off a huge 4-3 overtime win against No. 2 Minnesota as Simon Mack scored just his second goal of the season to push the Nittany Lions above the projected pairwise cutline. Penn State is 6-0-1 in its last seven and 8-1-2 in conference after starting the season 0-6 in the Big Ten.

In the CCHA, Bemidji State and No. 14 Minnesota State tied 1-1, but the Beavers took the shootout. Lake Superior State edged Bowling Green 4-3, St. Thomas nipped Michigan Tech 4-3, and Ferris State rolled past Northern Michigan 5-1.

Talk about burying the lede as we go to the NCHC where No. 4 Western Michigan secured the first Penrose Cup in school history, beating No. 18 North Dakota 6-4 with goals from six different players. The Broncos were preseason picks to finish sixth but have won six of their last seven and lost in regulation just once in 2025.

Minnesota-Duluth needed overtime to beat Miami 3-2, keeping the RedHawks winless in conference play.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 27, 2025. I was in a hockey rink today, only it was covered in wrestling mats. XCel Energy Center in St. Paul is a great place to watch any type of hockey. It’s also a great place for the Minnesota state wrestling championships - even if the HS league itself can’t be bothered by blogs, podcasts or anything that isn’t legacy media. Anyway. Two games on Thursday. No breakdowns. No Analysis. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES.
 
#8 Ohio State 2, #11 Michigan 1, OT
William Smith scored the game-winner 82 seconds into overtime as eighth-ranked Ohio State kept its hopes of overtaking second place in the Big Ten alive with a 2-1 win in Columbus over That School Up North. They'll do it again on Friday. 

#17 UMass 2, #16 UMass Lowell 2 (UMass wins SO) 
Cole O'Hara scored his 19th of the year to forge a 2-2 tie with host UMass and rival UMass Lowell. The Minutemen picked up the extra Hockey East point with the shootout win. They'll finish up the series, this time in Lowell to close out the home-and-home on Saturday. Both teams are now tied with Providence with 30 points in conference, one point behind fourth-place UConn.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 26, 2025. It’s the first round of winner-take-all, win and keep going games in Hockey East. They call it the first round, but you’re playing into the best-of-three quarters with a dub. No breakdowns. No Analysis. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES.
 
To the women’s scores in Hockey East:
#8 Vermont 3, #9 Holy Cross 2
Despite outshooting Holy Cross 43-20, eighth-seeded Vermont needed overtime to get past ninth-seeded Holy Cross 3-2 in the opening round of the Hockey East tournament.

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 21, 2025. 

It’s our last fully bloated Friday with a pretty full schedule of games on both the men’s and women’s side. It’s also my last full Friday on the blower, but what begins now is seven weeks on the road with my main sport. But you don’t care about that. You just want breakdowns. No, you won’t get that here. You want analysis. Sorry, not yet an elite hockey mind. You want JUST. THE. SCORES. 

Penn State earned an extra point in the Big Ten standings after tying top-ranked Michigan State 2-2 in a shootout. Michigan State remains just one point ahead of Minnesota atop the conference standings.
