B.C. Routs North Dakota 6-1, Advances To Finals

DENVER (AP) ― Nathan Gerbe scored a hat trick as Boston College cruised into its third straight NCAA Division One hockey championship game with a 6-1 win over North Dakota.

John Muse stopped 28 shots and the Eagles rode a four-goal opening period in the victory over the Fighting Sioux in the semifinals in Denver.

Andrew Orpik, Dan Bertram and Ben Smith also scored for BC.

The Eagles have beaten North Dakota the last three years in the semifinal round, but haven't won a national title since 2001, when they beat the Sioux in overtime.

Boston College lost to Michigan State in the final last season and to Wisconsin in 2006.

The Eagles play either Michigan or Notre Dame in Saturday's championship.
