PHILADELPHIA -- It had been seven years since the University of Massachusetts had won a basketball game in the Saint Joseph's Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, which is either intimate or claustrophobic, depending on your bias. It had been even longer since the Minutemen had so much at stake.

Jack Parker's Terriers are doing their best to avoid the sort of nail-biting finish they experienced last season.

Boston College thought it had Providence right where it wanted it. The game was tied at 2 with 13:12 gone in the third period, and the Eagles were about to embark on a power play after the Friars were caught with too many men on the ice. But the Friars killed the penalty, and 21 seconds later junior defenseman Matt ...

The Boston University men's soccer team is making the most of its penalty kicks -- and the Terriers are on their way to the second round of the NCAA Division 1 tournament. BU (10-7-3) eliminated Dartmouth (7-3-7) on penalty kicks, 4-3, after a 2-2 regulation deadlock last night at Nickerson Field. The Terriers play at St. John's Tuesday at 4 ...

DUXBURY -- On a night like this, there was concern that the weather would decide the Patriot League title. No one guessed it would come down to punting and passing.

Don't count out the Waltham boys' hockey team in the third period. In last night's battle for bragging rights in the Greater Boston League, Lawrence Tracy scored with 1:05 left to break a tie and the No. 3 Hawks (9-0-2) slipped past No. 13 Medford, 3-1, at Waltham, despite managing just four shots in the period.

AMHERST -- Their NCAA dreams might have clanged off the front rim, but the University of Massachusetts Minutemen can still take some pride in their 2006-07 season. UMass won 23 regular-season games, claimed a share of the Atlantic 10 regular-season title, and made it to the postseason for the first time in seven years.

From a standings perspective, last night's regular-season finale didn't mean anything. New Hampshire already had wrapped up the Hockey East title and the No. 1 seed in next weekend's conference tournament, and Boston College had wrapped up the second seed. Each team also knew the identity of its quarterfinal opponent, with the Wildcats set to face No. 8 Providence and ...

It wasn't quite the 44-point licking Harvard got last season at Case Gym, but Boston University's road show continued in impressive fashion last night at Lavietes Pavilion, where the Terriers raced to a 21-point halftime lead and poured it on for most of the second half en route to a 92-55 victory over the Crimson.

Duxbury's field hockey team controlled the game, outshooting Patriot League opponent Hanover, 12-1, yesterday. But with six minutes left, the game was still tied at 1 and Duxbury had to be wondering what more it could do.

Stephen Werner and the Minutemen weren't easily discouraged in their Hockey East opener last night.

It has been an emotional week for Boston University's hockey team. Five days after three Terrier players were attacked in an incident following a house party in Allston, the squad was on the ice at Agganis Arena last night, playing Providence College.

Fifth-ranked Massachusetts had a one-goal lead and a five-on-three power play at the start of the third period Friday night. About 24 hours later, it had nothing to show from a weekend series with No. 8 New Hampshire.

There was not a lot happening until the shootout. The Bruins and New York Islanders wandered across the TD Banknorth Garden ice last night, looking perhaps for a signpost or a grinning Cheshire cat to point the way. Certainly no one on the ice was breaking a path. After regulation and five minutes of overtime, the teams' erratic efforts had ...

It's been a season of milestones for the University of Massachusetts. The Minutemen played their 2,000th game earlier this season. They welcomed the 1 millionth fan into the 13-year-old Mullins Center. They are in the midst of their longest homestand in more than 70 years. And last night, they planned to celebrate the 500th game in the coaching ...

At times this season, Boston University has struggled to score. During a fair number of games early on, the team got subpar goaltending. And don't even ask coach Jack Parker why the Terriers have had a difficult time winning at home.
