It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 26, 2025. It’s the first round of winner-take-all, win and keep going games in Hockey East. They call it the first round, but you’re playing into the best-of-three quarters with a dub. No breakdowns. No Analysis. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES.
 
To the women’s scores in Hockey East:
#8 Vermont 3, #9 Holy Cross 2
Despite outshooting Holy Cross 43-20, eighth-seeded Vermont needed overtime to get past ninth-seeded Holy Cross 3-2 in the opening round of the Hockey East tournament. Cecilia DesLauries scored the game-winner with just over six minutes left in the full five-on-five overtime for the Catamounts, who will now play second-seeded Boston U. in the best two-out-of-three quarterfinals this weekend.
 
#10 Merrimack 3, #7New Hampshire 1
Merrimack jumped out to a 3-0 lead and never looked back as the 10th-seeded Warriors advanced past seventh-seeded New Hampshire 3-1. Merrimack will face top-seeded and regular-season champion UConn in the quarterfinals. Three different players scores for Merrimack.
