With Maine off for the weekend, the rest of Hockey East tried to
play catchup of sorts, and BU was the big winner with two wins and
a loss including the mid-week win over Lowell.  The Terriers also
tied and beat Providence.  UNH picked up four points by sweeping
Merrimack and moved from 5th to 3rd.  BC picked up 3 of 4 points
with a tie and a win against Northeastern; with Michael Spalla's goal
with three seconds left to get BC a tie Friday, BC first-year coach
Steve Cedorchuk avoided being put into the record books with his
sixth straight loss, something no other BC coach has done.  The three
points enabled BC to climb from 7th into a tie for 5th.
 
UMass-Lowell rebounded from a tough loss to BU by getting a hard-
fought sweep at Alaska-Anchorage, playing well on the large ice
surface.
 
Next week, Maine and Providence will host North Country teams Clarkson
and Providence, each for a pair.  Other than a Tuesday night BC-Yale
battle, the rest of the action takes place in the form of three home-
and-home series between rivals BC and BU, Northeastern and UNH, and
UMass-Lowell and Merrimack.  Earlier this season, Northeastern
won at UNH, 7-5, and BU won at home against BC, 7-4.  The BU at BC game
Friday will be shown live on NESN, and NESN will also show Saturday's
Merrimack at UMass-Lowell game on tape delay the next night at 7 pm.
