undhockeypuckTAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Quinnipiac (KWIHN’-ih-pee-ak) goalie Michael Garteig made 34 saves and the Bobcats beat Boston College 3-2. That sent the tiny school located at the foot of Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, Connecticut, to the NCAA hockey title game for the second time in four years.

Quinnipiac will play North Dakota,  as  Nick Schmaltz scored off a rebound with less a minute left as North Dakota beat Denver 4-2 on Thursday night to advance to the NCAA hockey championship game for the first time in 11 years. Schmaltz’s backhand shot from in front of the net slipped past goalie Tanner Jaillet. North Dakota’s trip to the Frozen Four in its first season under coach Brad Berry is the 22nd for the Fighting Hawks.
