Michigan 6, St. Lawrence 3 EXHIBITION St. Petersburg Red Army, Russia 6, Minn.-Duluth 2 BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) -- Doug Friedman's two goals in the second period and Mike Pomichter's pair in the third lifted Boston University to a 5-2 win over Vermont in an opening round game of the Sheraton-USAir Hockey Classic. The Terriers (11-3) will meet New Hampshire in the championship game Thursday night. New Hampshire beat Dartmouth 3-2 in the other first-round game. Friedman's power play goal at 8:12 of the second period gave the Terriers their first lead of the night. Earlier in the period, Jon Jenkins beat Vermont's Tim Thomas with a wrist shot just under the crossbar at 5:43 of the second period. Vermont (4-6-1) had taken a 1-0 lead on a power play goal by Martin St. Louis at 5:17 of the first period. Friedman's second goal at 19:07 of the second period gave the Terriers a 3-1 lead. Although the Vermont bench protested Friedman's goal, it held up and the Terriers had a 2-goal lead. Friedman flicked the puck out of the air and the Vermont staff thought it should have been waved off because of a high stick. Pomichter, BU's top scorer, put the Terriers up 4-1 at 11:22 of the third period when he collected a rebound and fired it past a fallen Tim Thomas. Vermont battled back and narrowed the margin to 4-2 on Nicolas Perreault's power play goal at 12:13. Pomichter scored the final goal for Boston at 19:58. BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) -- Nick Poole's screen shot with 34 seconds left in regulation lifted New Hampshire to a 3-2 win over Dartmouth in a first-round game of the Sheraton-USAir Hockey Classic held at the University of Vermont. Poole picked up a loose puck off a faceoff in Dartmouth's end and wristed a shot that eluded Dartmouth's Mike Bracco for the Wildcats' 12th win of the season. New Hampshire, which is ranked No. 3 in the nation, improved its overall record to 12-3-1. Dartmouth and New Hampshire traded goals late in the second period. The Big Green's Matt Collins poked in a rebound at 16:28 off Yanick Roussin's shot from the left point. New Hampshire matched it 36 seconds later as Rob Donovan wristed a shot from in close past Bracco at 17:04. New Hampshire took the lead at 14:38 of the third period when Mike Sullivan flicked one in on the short side. The Big Green responded on Darren Wercinski's rebound goal from in close. Brent Cavicchi finished with 17 saves for the Wildcats, while Bracco had 26 saves. Dartmouth's record fell to 2-6.
