In a historic weekend for college hockey, Boston University and Boston College faced off as the top two ranked men's teams for the first time, with Boston College emerging victorious in both games. The first match saw Boston College, ranked second, defeat the top-ranked Boston University with a final score of 4-1, despite a goal by Jack Hughes, his fourth of the season. The following night, in a closely contested game, Boston College narrowly won again with a score of 4-3. Sam Stevens tied the game for Boston University, but a late goal by Macklin Celebrini wasn't enough to overcome Boston College's lead. The rivalry, known as the 'Battle of Commonwealth Ave,' lived up to its reputation with an electric atmosphere. The teams are set to meet again in the semifinals of the Beanpot tournament on February 5th.
