The field is set

The Frozen Four field is finally set. On Saturday night, RIT became the first Atlantic Hockey team to punch its ticket to the Frozen Four with their stunning 6-2 win over New Hampshire. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

Yesterday, the Northeast and Midwest finals were played and Boston College and Miami came out on top in two very different games. In the Northeast final, BC defeated Yale by a 9-7 score. It's interesting to note that Yale was down 9-4 in the third period and still managed to fight their way back to make it a hockey game. Miami and Michigan, on the other hand, played to a 3-2 2OT final that ended on a rather weak goal given up by Michigan.

The match-ups are as follows:

Semifinal 1:
RIT vs. Wisconsin, Thursday, April 8, 5:00 ET (ESPN2)

Semifinal 2:
Boston College vs. Miami, Thursday, April 8, 8:30 ET (ESPN2)

As the weeks progress I'll have more information on each team and what they need to do to win the Frozen Four.
