The Boston College Eagles (26-7-2) men’s hockey team starts its run in the NCAA Tournament as it takes on the Bentley Falcons (23-14-2) on Friday afternoon in the Manchester Regional.

Although the Eagles lost its only game in the Hockey East Quarterfinals to Northeastern 3-1 on March 15, the performance did not impact their spot in the postseason. Boston College earned the No. 1 overall seed for its dominant regular season where it won 26 games and notched a 18-4-2 mark in conference play.

Bentley earned an automatic bid into the tournament after securing the Atlantic Hockey Championship with a 6-3 win over Holy Cross on Saturday night. The victory marked the program’s first ever conference championship. This will also be the Falcons’ first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The other teams in the Regional are Providence and Denver, who will square off on Friday evening. The two winners will play each other in the Regional Final on Sunday for a chance to go to the Frozen Four.

Below is all the information for the upcoming matchup.
