About the ECAC Tournament
The 12-team ECAC postseason features a best-of-three series format in the first round and quarterfinals, played at campus sites, before single elimination in the semifinal and championship games at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid. Teams will be re-seeded after each round so that the highest seed plays the lowest seed.
Brown Sweeps Past Quinnipiac in Quarterfinals
Brown swept No. 5 and top-seeded Quinnipiac in a pair of road quarterfinal contests to advance to the league's final four for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Brown captured the series behind a pair of thrilling comeback wins. The Bears won the first game, 2-1, when Brent Beaudoin scored a game-tying goal with 21 seconds left in regulation before Jack Gessert notched the game winner in overtime. Facing a two-goal deficit the next night, the Bears rallied with four goals in the third period to secure the 4-3 come-from-behind win. Tommy Marchin had two goals in the period, along with Beaudoin and fellow senior captain Max Gottlieb.
