Well folks, the dream of winning the NCAA Division I Hockey title ended abruptly last night as the UVM men's hockey team lost to the top ranked team in the country, BU and their deep crop of overly WASPy, assuredly NHL bound players. Cally's first experience viewing the Frozen Four semifinal was rather uneventful...she witnessed a lot of ambient, unintelligible screaming as UVM pulled into the lead with an incredible second period push to take the lead at 3-2. She saw some new ceiling and dogs peering into her Moses basket, and generally seemed to enjoy the viewing atmosphere of the Ganzenmueller's living room. Awakened numerous times by her not so bright and overly emotive father, when Cally was asked for her insight into UVM's heartbreaking loss, she offered no comment...
See official report below. It was one of those nights folks, where the title was at times so close we could taste here in the hills of VT. Big thanks to the Homesteading Hussy for hostessing. We'll see you next year, BU!
WASHINGTON - No. 1 Boston University overcame a 4-3 deficit with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation to defeat No. 3 Vermont, 5-4, at the Frozen Four in front of a sellout crowd of 18,427 at the Verizon Center on Thursday night. Hobey Baker finalist Colin Wilson scored the game winner with 5:41 left in regulation, to send BU to its 10th national championship game in program history. The Terriers (34-6-4) will face No. 4 Miami on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the NCAA title game while the Catamounts end their season at 22-12-5.
