CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Head coach Jerry York and the Boston College Eagles open their 2002-03 hockey campaign Sunday, Oct. 13, when they travel to face HOCKEY EAST opponent Massachusetts at 5 p.m. The game will mark the first time since the 1989-90 season the Eagles have opened their season against a conference opponent.
Boston College won their only exhibition contest of the season, an 11-2 rout of Queens University. Junior forward Tony Voce tallied two goals and one assist, while junior defenseman J.D. Forrest added two goals in the game. Freshman forward Patrick Eaves' five-point effort - one goal and four assists - earned him HOCKEY EAST Rookie of the Week honors.
The Eagles have won their last four games against the Minutemen. In the last meeting on Feb. 1, 2002, BC edged UMass 3-2, in overtime. Sophomore forward Ryan Shannon scored the game winner.
