Friday flurries: Upsets, OTs heat up cold night

No. 18 Boston College survived an OT scare from UMass-Lowell, but No. 8 North Dakota and No. 11 Northeastern fell at home during a wild Friday night that also included No. 3 Cornell and No. 7 Clarkson skating to a scoreless tie and No. 12 Minnesota winning at No. 17 Wisconsin.

No. 1 Cornell outlasts Union, 4-3, avoiding upset

In its first week as #1 in the USCHO.com poll, Cornell had to hold off a pesky Union team to earn a 4-3 victory while #3 Clarkson fell to Quinnipiac. Providence and Northeastern each found ways to earn ties, while No. 2 Notre Dame rallied on the road past Penn State (photo: Omar Phillips).
