John Muse stopped 31 shots and Matt Price notched the only goal of the contest, as Boston College beat New Hampshire, 1-0, at the Whittemore Center.
Coupled with Friday's 5-3 victory, the sixth-seeded Eagles swept the three-game quarterfinal series from the third-seeded Wildcats and advanced to the conference semifinals, next Friday at Fleet Center in Boston.
Wildcats super sophomore and 2007 Flyers draft pick James van Riemsdyk was obviously held off the scoresheet Saturday, after scoring twice in the two-goal defeat last night.
The defending national champions now await the end of the Boston University-Maine and Northeastern-UMass series to discover who their opponent will be, most likely in the early evening contest. The highest seed remaining plays the lowest-remaining seed in the semifinals.
It marked the first time in ages that Boston College managed to win two games in one season in Durham, much less back-to-back road contests at the olympic-sized rink.
