Ten years ago, in the 2006-2007 season, the Eagles advanced to their first NCAA tournament. I was a freshman, and Joe and I got swept up in the team’s big run in our first year on campus. The team advanced to the Frozen Four in a massive double-overtime upset of #3 Dartmouth, and suddenly a program with no history whatsoever had something to put in the trophy case.
But the months following the end of the season were chaotic. Head coach Tom Mutch was ousted following a scandal, players transferred out, and the program had to start from scratch.
