WALTHAM -- Larry and Bobby Abare experienced a loss in the first football game they played at Acton-Boxboro. And they haven't since.

For the Boston College women's basketball team, last night's game could not come soon enough. Providence might have preferred that it not come at all.

It wasn't pretty, but UMass will take it. The Minutemen and Rhode Island Rams put on an ugly display of basketball last night, but UMass persevered in spite of shooting 29.4 percent in the first half to post a 49-44 victory over its Atlantic 10 foe.

Nothing clarifies the mind quite like having to win or die. So Vermont's Catamounts, whose season ends if they don't win the Hockey East tournament, came to Commonwealth Ave. last night with a fierce focus, shrugging off an early deficit to beat defending champion Boston University, 3-2, in the opener of their best-of-three quarterfinal series before a subdued 3,977 at ...

It doesn't matter that Boston College is the No. 1 team in the country and sits atop Hockey East. Not when it comes to the Beanpot.

Parting with Syracuse and the Big East was such sweet sorrow for Boston College after the 17th-ranked Eagles, playing their final game as a Big East member, absorbed a ruinous 43-17 loss yesterday that prevented them from winning the conference title outright and clinching a Bowl Championship Series berth.

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.

For coach Dennis Wolff's Boston University Terriers, the postseason is already under way. Oh, not officially. That won't be the case until next weekend's America East tournament at Agganis Arena.

On the heels of its 69-58 setback Sunday at Vermont that left the Catamounts alone in first place in America East, Boston University's men's team hits a much shorter road tomorrow night for a meeting of second-place teams at Matthews Arena.

Minnesota may have spoiled Boston University's final game at Walter Brown Arena by claiming a 2-1 victory at the old barn Sunday, but the Terriers weren't going to let the Golden Gophers ruin their inaugural game at Agganis Arena.
