NCAA Tournament: Hockey East Goes Winless In Friday Early Games (Videos)
The NCAA Men’s Hockey Tournament kicked off Friday, but it was a disappointing day for several Hockey East schools. No. 4 seed Northeastern kicked off its first appearance in the tourney since 2009 following a historic 20-1-2 late-season run that ended with them winning the Hockey East tournament. The Huskies got off to a quick start, too, as freshman Nolan Stevens potted the first goal of the game just 3:07 into the first. But Northeastern’s Cinderella run was cut short soon after, as No. 1 North Dakota scored five unanswered goals en route to an eventual 6-2 win. Things went slightly better for No. 3 Notre Dame, who took No. 2 Michigan to overtime before falling.

Lowell and Boston University will look to advance in their tournament openers on Saturday, while Boston College faces Harvard on Friday night. UPDATE (11:45 p.m. ET): Boston College was the sole Hockey East school to advance Friday, taking down Harvard 4-1.
