Boston College may lose defenseman Patch Alber for the rest of the season after a pregame injury Saturday in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
Alber, a senior who played in each of the No. 1 Eagles’ first 14 games this season and all 44 last year, was injured during the team’s soccer warmup before the first game of the Mariucci Classic, coach Jerry York said.<\/p>\n
York told reporters after Saturday’s game that an orthopedic surgeon said Alber’s injury could be a torn meniscus, and York said the injury could end Alber’s season.<\/p>\n
Alber underwent successful surgery to repair a displaced lateral meniscus in his right knee Tuesday, according to a school-issued press release.<\/p>\n
The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Nascimento at St. Elizabeth’s Media Center in Brighton, Mass. <\/p>\n
Alber is expected to miss three months during recovery. <\/p>\n
Alber has three assists and is plus-6 this season for the Eagles. In 109 collegiate games, he has four goals and 25 assists.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, he was replaced in the Eagles’ lineup by freshman Travis Jeke, who played his first collegiate game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
