BU women prevail in overtime; Bentley men stop Army's win streak + a standings rundown - CHS 2-4-25

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 4, 2025. While the Men’s Beanpot finishes up next week, we had two of the Boston teams in the mix. Like always, there’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s just the scores. And sometimes a bad joke - or did I say dad joke? They’re one and the same in my world. We start with the women tonight.  

Alex Law's seventh goal of the year came in overtime to lift No. 14 Boston U. to a 3-2 win over No. 13 Northeastern. The Terriers sit alone atop Hockey East with 50 points, four points ahead of second-place UConn and now nine up on Northeastern. 

The only game on the schedule on the men’s side took place in Atlantic Hockey. 

Bentley rallied from a 2-0 deficit and ended Army West Point's five game winning streak as the Falcons moved within one point of second place in the conference with a 5-2 win. Ryan Mansfield scored two goals for the Falcons. 

Let’s set the table with the conference standings heading into this weekend’s action. 

Once again, we start with the women and with the craziest race: the ECAC.

Cornell leads Colgate by a point and a half for first, followed by St. Lawrence, 5.5 points back from Colgate. Quinnipiac’s in fourth, four points behind St. Lawrence. 

In Hockey East, I already gave you the nuts and bolts of that above. BC is in fourth, two points behind Northeastern.

In the WCHA, Wisconsin is 17 points up on second-place. The No. 1 Badgers have 65 points. Minnesota and Ohio State are tied with 48 points in second, but the Gophers have two games in hand. Duluth is in fourth with 36 points. 

In Atlantic Hockey America, Penn State has 45 points and is 10 points up on second place Mercyhurst. Syracuse is nine points back of Mercyhurst. 

In the NEWHA, it’s a tight race with all teams having played 22 games. With three series left to go, Sacred Heart is in first with 45 points, leading second-place LIU by two points. Franklin Pierce is third with 39 and Stonehill and St. Anselm are tied in fourth with 35 points each. 

On the men’s side, most teams have 4-5 series’ left in their schedule. 

In Atlantic Hockey America, Sacred Heart has 46 points, five points up on second-place Holy Cross and six points up on Bentley. Niagara’s in fourth with 39 points. 

The Big Ten is a two-horse race with Michigan State leading with 40 points, two ahead of second-place Minnesota. Both teams have played 18 conference games. Ohio State’s in third with 28, followed by Michigan with 25 and Wisconsin with 24. So still the chance for a lot of movement from 3-5. 

With Augustana playing an abbreviated conference schedule in the CCHA, the Vikings do lead in points percentage. They’ll only play 16 conference games this year. They’re in a good position to lock up the tournament’s top seed. Minnesota State’s in second, followed by Michigan Tech and Bowling Green. 

Much like the women, the ECAC is also a tight race with the top five teams all separated by five points. Quinnipiac leads with 30 points, followed by Colgate, which has 29. Dartmouth and Union are tied in third with 26, while Clarkson has 25 in fifth. 

In Hockey East, Boston College has a three-point lead over Maine 35-32, while Boston U. Is third with 31 points. UConn sits in fourth with 26, followed by UMass Lowell with 25. 

In the NCHC, Arizona State and Western Michigan are tied in first with 34 points, which is what everyone had on their preseason polls right? Omaha’s in third with 31 points. North Dakota and Denver are fourth and fifth with 25 and 24 points.
