The Eagles also advanced to the semifinals in 1948, 1949 and 1950. The Eagles won their only national title in 1949 In 1998, BC defeated Ohio State (5-2) in the semifinal round, before falling to Michigan in overtime (3-2) in the title game... Last year, the Eagles lost to Maine in overtime (2-1) in the semifinals. Number 21: The 2000 tournament marks the 21 st time the Eagles have earned a NCAA Tournament berth The Eagles rank fourth in all-time NCAA appearances... BC made four trips to the tournament in the 1990s (1990, 1991, 1998, 1999) The 2000 tournament marks the team s 10 th berth in the last 17 years BC has a 19-31 all-time record in the national tournament, including a 6-6 record in the 1990s. Fourth Seed: Boston College advanced to the 2000 Frozen Four after winning two games against Michigan State and Wisconsin as the fourth-seeded team in the West Regional in Minneapolis, Minn. Boston College is the only team in this year s semifinal round that did not receive a first-round bye BC followed the same route last March, earning the fourth seed in the West Regional (Madison, Wisc.) and winning two games (Northern Michigan and North Dakota) to advance to the semifinals. Streaks: Boston College has a 7-1 record in its last eight games. BC had a five-game winning streak snapped in the HOCKEY EAST Tournament s title game (a 2-1 loss to Maine). Since then, the Eagles have added two wins in the NCAA Tournament s West Regional BC s longest winning streak this season is six games (twice Nov. 30-Jan. 2; Jan. 23-Feb. 11). Eyeing 100 Wins: For Boston College s five seniors, the 2000 Frozen Four represents the opportunity to raise their collegiate win total to 100. The class currently has a 98-51-14 record. The Class of 2000 won 15 games in its freshman season; 28 games in its sophomore season; 27 games in its junior season; and 28 games (so far) this season Only one other class in Boston College hockey history has recorded 100 wins. The Class of 1987 John McLean, Sean Real, Tim Ceglarski and Kevin Stevens won 111 games in its four years. On The Defensive: When Boston College head coach Jerry York is asked to distinguish this year s Eagle team from either of his past two Frozen Four entries, he often cites the team s improved defense and with good reason. Boston College has surrendered two or fewer goals in 29 of its 40 games this season. In fact, BC has allowed just 86 goals in 40 games, the lowest single-season goal total allowed by a BC team since the 1962-63 team allowed 79 goals in 31 games. Depending on the results of the team s Frozen Four contest(s), other relevant years are: 1961-62 87 goals allowed in 28 games; 1968-69 91 goals allowed in 26 games; and 1966-67 91 goals allowed in 28 games The Eagles are currently third nationally in scoring defense with a 2.15 GAA... The team has posted seven shutouts. Against the Frozen Four Field: BC is 2-2-0 against the three teams in the 2000 NCAA Tournament s Frozen Four. The Eagles have not met St. Lawrence or North Dakota this season, but did record a 2-2-0 mark against HOCKEY EAST foe Maine. www.bceagles.com www.bceagles.com

Who s Hot: Three Boston College players seniors Blake Bellefeuille, Jeff Farkas and Mike Mottau earned All-Tournament honors at the NCAA Tournament s West Regional in Minneapolis, Minn.

The senior defenseman also anchored the BC defense that held Wisconsin s vaunted first line scoreless in the quarterfinal round. Almost: Junior forward Brian Gionta wasn t a member of the West Regional All-Tournament Team, but he must have been the next highest vote-getter. Gionta registered four points in the Eagles two wins.
