Gerbe, Orpik headed for Spring Freeze

In Worcester, Nathan Gerbe scored his 30th goal of the season as Boston College advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four with a 4-3 overtime win over Miami. The speedy wing notched the middle tally in BC's three-goal barrage in 1:58 late in the 2nd period to take a 3-2 lead before 5'6 forward Joe Whitney ended the game in OT for BC. 2005 pick Andrew Orpik manned his usual spot with Matt Lombardi and Kyle Kucharski in the Eagles win.
