North Andover Mass. —The Merrimack College Men's Hockey team are set to play their first home playoff quarterfinal game since 2011 on Saturday, March 11 as they take on the Boston College Eagles at 7:30 PM at Lawler Rink.
The Warriors, who earned a bye to the quarterfinal round due to their second-place conference finish will look to extend their five-game winning streak and move to the semifinals which will be held at the TD Garden in Boston on Friday, March 17.
The second-place Hockey East regular season finish is a program best. The Warriors are currently ranked 14th in both the USA Hockey and USCHO national polls.
The Warriors hold the season series with BC, including a 3-1 victory over the Eagles on November 3 in front of a sold-out Lawler crowd and a 5-2 matinee win on November 5 at Conte Forum.
