Boston University has had about as good of a season as you could ask for. The Terriers took home the Beanpot and Hockey East Championships, posting a 31-6-4 record in regular season and postseason play. But after 13 seasons without a national championship for head coach Jack Parker and BU, the Terriers season won't be complete unless they are the last team standing on April 11 in Washington D.C.

After shutting out UMass Lowell, 1-0, in the conference championship on Saturday, BU was awarded the top seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Terriers will play Ohio State in Manchester on March 28 in their opening game of the Northeast Regional, which also includes North Dakota and New Hampshire.

Northeastern University will play in the Midwest Regional, and will face Cornell in their first game. Northeastern's bracket also includes Notre Dame and Bemidji State.
