Maine Outlasts Michigan State in Thriller
Black Bears Advance To Frozen Four
by Juan Martinez/Staff Writer

ALBANY, N.Y. — It had been 14 years since Michigan State and Maine squared off in the NCAA tournament.

It was worth the wait, as the Black Bears jumped out to leads of 3-0 and 4-1 before weathering a Spartan run and holding on for a 5-4 victory to advance to the Frozen Four in Milwaukee.

"That game lived up to the game I thought it would be," said MSU head coach Rick Comley.

"To advance past Michigan State, that was special," said Maine head coach Tim Whitehead. "They showed why they are such a special team with the way they battled back."

GO BEARS!

My alma mater is in the frozen four, too, so, alas, I cannot root for Maine. If the Sioux lose, I will back your boys, though. Best of luck to you.

I will now root for Maine all the way.
