In fact, Maine buried most of its other opponents in 1993. When it reached the NCAA Championship, it defeated Michigan 4-3 in overtime and Lake Superior State 5-4 (in a brilliant come-from-behind effort). Two days prior, the Lakers defeated another Hockey East team (BU) 6-1 in the semifinal. The the CCHA. BU was, I believe, second in Hockey East.
