SCSU Hockey Headed to The Frozen Four

The St. Cloud State University men's hockey team is headed to its second-ever Frozen Four after beating Boston College 4-1 Sunday night in the NCAA Tournament's Albany, New York Regional Final.

Minnesota Wild draft pick Matt Boldy scored to give Boston College a 1-0 lead at 14:23 of the opening period, but that was the only goal veteran netminder David Hrenak allowed the rest of the way in leading SCSU to victory. Hrenak ended the game with 26 saves.

The Huskies tied the game at one halfway through the second period on a Luke Jaycox goal, then took the lead when former Cathedral Crusader Will Hammer found the back of the net at 15:15 of the second.
