From The FreeP: BU beats Yale to close out 2016

While about 10 days remain until Christmas, the Boston University men’s hockey team handed its fans an early present to close out 2016.

Slated against the Yale University Bulldogs, BU skated comfortably to a 5-2 win. For a full recap of the night’s events, check out Jonathan’s game story over on The Daily Free Press.

The night’s first star – perhaps to the surprise of everyone in attendance – was sophomore defenseman Shane Switzer. He potted two goals in just his ninth collegiate game, and offered a steady presence along the blueline. Check out Nick’s story over on The Daily Free Press about the Michigan native.
