No score after 1

Hockey
Jeremy Rice

UMass 0, Boston College 0

The Massachusetts hockey team and Boston College battled
back and forth in the first period, but to no avail. Neither team could muster a goal, despite a handful of opportunities for both.

UMass had the best chance, with a 5-on-3 with about five minutes remaining in the period, but put together a pair of lackluster power plays and struggled to keep the puck in the offensive zone.

BC drew a 5-on-3 of it own as time expired and will begin the second period with a two-man advantage.

The Massachusetts men's soccer team is also in action tonight in the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament against one of its biggest rivals, Rhode Island. Check back for updates on both games as the night progresses.
