    Quinnipiac maintained its status as the top team in WTBU\u2019s College Hockey Poll. The Bobcats extended their unbeaten streak to a nation-leading 13 games. The Bobcats, led by\u00a0goaltender\u00a0Michael Garteig, allowed three goals in as many games last week, including a scoreless tie on Saturday. Offensively, Quinnipiac is led by Tim Clifton with eight goals on the season, five of which came on the power play.<\/p>\n

    Boston College played just one game this weekend, routing UNH 6-3. BC leads the nation in goals per game. Averaging 4.364, as well as a nation\u2019s best 1.182 goals against per game. Goalie Thatcher Demko is third in the nation with a .955 save percentage. Offensively, Colin White is tied for third in the country with 17 points on the season.<\/p>\n

    Providence College cracks the top three in the WTBU poll after staying undefeated with a weekend sweep of the Northeastern Huskies. The Friars have the country\u2019s leading goal scorer in Jake Walman, who has scored nine goals and 17 points this year. The reigning National Champions have only had one real test this season, a series against BU. They will host Yale on Saturday, putting their undefeated record on the line.<\/p>\n

    OTHER NOTES<\/p>\n
