Minnesota 4, B.C. 1
Dave Snuggerud and Tom Chorske each scored a pair of goals last night and goalie John Blue kicked out 42 shots to lead the University of Minnesota to a 4-1 victory over Boston College in the opening round of the NCAA Division 1 hockey quarterfinals.
The final score gives Minnesota a three-goal lead going into Saturday's game in the two-game, total-goals format.
Minnesota opened the scoring 14 minutes into the game when Snuggerud fired from the left face-off circle and beat BC goalie Davie Littman to the far corner.
Boston College got their only goal of the night at 19:26 of the first period when Ken Hodge scored on a wrist shot from 20 feet in the slot through a screen.
Minnesota put the game away in the second period as Chorske netted a power-play goal at 15:36 and scored again at 19:01.
Snuggerud closed the scoring at 17:12 of the final period.
UND 3, St. Lawrence 1
St. Lawrence made only a few mistakes in its NCAA Division I quarterfinal game against North Dakota last night.
Unfortunately for the Saints, they came while Tony Hrkac was on the ice as North Dakota took the first game of their total-goal series, 3-1.
"We just had a couple of bad breakdowns on goals they got," St. Lawrence Coach Joe Marsh said.
Hrkac, a 5-ft., 11-in. sophomore forward, assisted on all three Sioux goals.
"He [Hrkac] is extremely quick," Marsh said. "He can just take off on a dime."
North Dakota scored a goal in each of the three periods, two on power plays. Lee Davidson took a pass from Hrkac in front of St. Lawrence goalie Scott Yearwood at 16:57 of the first period, which was marred by 11 penalties between the two teams.
At 4:09 of the second period, Steve Johnson backhanded a goal into the net with Hrkac and Bob Joyce assisting.
