Maury Edwards didn't need much time to become an impact player in Hockey East. The freshman defenseman's fifth goal of the season was the winning strike in No. 15 UMass-Lowell's 4-1 victory over No. 10 Massachusetts last night at Tsongas Arena.

UMass-Lowell is perfect in nonconference play this season. Of late, the River Hawks have carried that penchant for perfection over to their Hockey East performances as well.

They had lost to Vermont, 89-45, last Sunday and barely got by Longwood University, 63-58, a team with a 1-18 record, on Tuesday. Put it this way -- the University of Hartford Hawks weren't exactly on a roll going into last night's game at Boston University.

AMHERST -- There is no out of bounds. When a deflected pass flew over the scorer's table at practice Tuesday, three Minutemen raced after it, wrestling for the ball in the Mullins Center seats. University of Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford would have it no other way. Ferocity: That's one thing he's looking for.

The game was secondary. Sure, last night's 102-63 pounding of La Salle was important to the University of Massachusetts. The win pushed UMass's record to 22-7, the most victories the Minutemen have had since their Final Four record of 35-2 in 1995-96. It kept the Minutemen in a tie for first place with Xavier, a 72-62 winner over ...

&quot;We had multiple fronts and multiple stunts off of those fronts,&quot; said Plymouth North coach Bill Burkhead of his game plan for yesterday's matchup with undefeated Falmouth.

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 ...
