Boston University defeats Penn State 3-1, advances to NCAA Championship

Boston University defeated Penn State 3-1 to advance to the NCAA Hockey Championship for the first time since 2015, with key second-period goals from Jack Hughes and Cole Eiserman. Mikhail Yegorov made 32 saves, ensuring BU's defense held strong, while Jack Harvey sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Penn State's Nicholas DeGraves scored their only goal early in the third period, but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback. The Terriers will face Western Michigan, who also advanced after a thrilling double-overtime victory against Denver. This marks a significant achievement for both teams, as it's the first Frozen Four appearance for Penn State and an opportunity for BU to add to its five national titles. The championship game is set for Saturday night.
