Boston College knows its first-round opponent for the NCAA men’s hockey tournament: old rival Notre Dame.
The Irish somewhat surprisingly were picked as a 4-seed in the Albany, NY regional, after being left for dead by some prognosticators after falling in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament. Notre Dame will face off against the Eagles Saturday at 1 PM on ESPN NEWS and WatchESPN.com.
Here’s a first look at the Fighting Irish:
- Notre Dame posted a record of 14-13-2 this year, finishing 4th in the Big Ten and bowing out in the conference quarterfinal with a 6-3 loss to Penn State.
