Hockey beats Merrimack and other links

In a midweek battle, the Hockey team held off Merrimack 2-1.

Stephen Gionta is sidelined with an injury, but is still getting attention from his hometown paper.

A new kicker is on the way. I will have more on him Thursday.

If the kicker isn't worth a scholarship is he really a solution? Or just more of the same. No half measures, please!

Steve Aponovicious didn't come to BC on a scholarship.

My point exactly. All he was, was better than Ohliger. We couldn't try kicks outside 35 yards. That's not a D1 kicker to me.

I don't understand it. Why can BC not recruit a top level kicker? Wouldn't a high school kid in that position jump at guarantee to start right away?
