Boston University beat Boston College, 5-3, before both teams departed to Hockey East in the 1984-85 season. You have to go all the way back to 1970 to find two current ECAC members in the title game: Cornell beat Clarkson, 6-4, to cap a perfect 29-0 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; This will be the first national championship for an ECAC team since Harvard in 1989.<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; Connecticut becomes the fourth state to be the home of both teams in the championship, joining Michigan, Massachusetts and New York (and not Minnesota or Colorado.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; The Bobcats have a 3-0 record against the Bulldogs this season, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/recaps\/2013\/02\/02\/quinnipiac-runs-unbeaten-streak-to-19-games-rallies-to-beat-yale\/\">Feb. 2, 6-2<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/recaps\/2013\/02\/22\/hartzell-stops-30-to-lead-quinnipiac-over-yale\/\">Feb. 22, 4-1<\/a>; and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/recaps\/2013\/03\/23\/quinnipiacs-third-place-win-takes-ncaa-fate-out-of-yales-hands\/\">March 23, 3-0<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can throw the 3-and-0 out the window,&#8221; said Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold after Saturday&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to beat a team four times in a row,&#8221; said ESPN&#8217;s Barry Melrose about Quinnipiac&#8217;s prospects against Yale.
