Saturday was a wild night in college hockey and nowhere could you find a bigger upset than at Bentley Arena.<\/p>\n

A night after No. 6 Boston College handled No. 18 Northeastern on home ice with three third-period goals, the Eagles fell at the hands of Bentley, which tallied five times in the final frame to break open a tight contest with a 6-2 win.<\/p>\n

Cole Kodsi scored twice for the host Falcons, while his teammate had great responses to Boston College goals in the victory. Trailing 3-0, Jack McBain scored for Boston College at the 4:54 point of the third. But Bentley responded with goals from Eric Linell at 6:15 and Drew Bavaro struck a crushing blow at 10:20.<\/p>\n

Bentley netminder Nicholas Grabko stopped 38 of 40 shots for Bentley, which also defeated Power Five school Ohio State at home eight days ago.<\/p>\n

It was billed as the battle of the best early in the season and the championship game of the IceBreaker was everything to live up to that billing.<\/p>\n

Michigan scored twice in the third period to overcome a 2-1 deficit and knock off the nation’s top team, Minnesota State, 3-2, to capture the IceBreaker title.<\/p>\n

The Wolverines improve to a perfect 4-0-0 on the young season and are likely to take over the top spot in the national rankings in Monday’s polls.<\/p>\n

Despite opening the scoring just 54 seconds into the second period on Nick Blankenberg’s goal, Michigan trailed heading into the final period after Julian Napravnik and Ryan Sandelin tallied late in the middle frame to give the Mavericks the lead heading to the third.<\/p>\n

Thomas Bourdeleau scored his second goal of the season to even the game at 4:20 of the third before Brendan Brisson netted his fifth of the year and second of the weekend with 4:20 remaining. That goal stood as the game-winner.<\/p>\n
