Frozen Four Recap: If you’re a hockey fan living in Boston, the most exciting time of the year ends just as the Bruins’ NHL playoff games begin. Boston College captured its fourth national championship on Saturday, defeating the Wisconsin Badgers, 5-0. It was B.C.’s second championship in three years and fourth visit to the championship game in five years. With Boston University’s 2009 victory, the win also ensured the championship trophy would stay in Beantown.

In a day of historic happenings for Cornell athletics across the board, the Cornell women’s hockey team contributed its all as it upset the No. 1 seed Mercyhurst in the first game of the Frozen Four. In doing so, the Red is moving on to its first-ever national championship game for the NCAA that will take place on Sunday at noon CT (1 p.m. ET) in Minneapolis, Minn.

History continues to be made for the women’s hockey team as it enters its first ever NCAA Division I Frozen Four. The first match will take place tonight at 5 p.m. on neutral ice in Minneapolis, Minn. as Cornell takes on the No.

Cornell’s 2008-09 season came to an end last night as the Red fell 4-1 to the upstart No. 4-seeded Bemidji St. Beavers in the finals of the Midwest regional of the NCAA Tournament. Cornell dictated the style of play early and got out to a 1-0 lead but ultimately the Beavers’ quick skaters and offensive prowess overwhelmed the Red’s defense, vaulting Bemidji St. to a berth in the 2009 Frozen Four.
