Michigan one win from Frozen Four after edging Northeastern
Michigan’s hockey team defeated Northeastern 3-2 on Saturday in the NCAA Northeast Regional at Worcester, Mass., putting the Wolverines one win from a trip to the Frozen Four.
Tony Calderone forced a steal and carried the puck three-quarters of the length of the ice, and delivered a nifty backhand pass to Cooper Marody, who buried the winning goal at 15:30 of the third period. It was Marody’s 16th goal of the season.
No. 3 seed Michigan (21-14-3) will face No. 4 Boston University (22-13-4) on Sunday at 4 p.m. (ESPN2) in the Northeast Regional final, with the winner going to the Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn.
Boston knocked off the region’s top seed, Cornell, 3-1 in the first game Saturday.
