On Friday, she returns to collegiate competition when No. 3 Minnesota hosts No. 8 North Dakota at 6:07 p.m. CST.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, the Gophers and Fighting Hawks conclude their series with a 4:07 p.m. start that produces a statistical first. Alex Carpenter and No. 1 Boston College visit Connecticut on Saturday at 2 p.m. EST, marking the first time to my knowledge we&#8217;ll have two Kazmaier winners playing in NCAA games on the same day. It bears noting that when Jennifer Botterill played in the 2003 championship game, she herself owned two Kazmaiers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beanpot awarded<\/strong><br \/>\nSpeaking of hardware, Carpenter will attempt to add a Beanpot to her personal resume when No. 1 Boston College and No. 5 Northeastern take the Boston University ice on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. EST in the final. The Eagles claimed their last Beanpot two years ago while Carpenter was away in Sochi at the Olympics. The Huskies won in both 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n<p>On the undercard, Boston University entertains Harvard at 4:30 p.m. for third place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 4 Quinnipiac at Cornell, Friday, 7 p.m. EST; No. 4 Quinnipiac at No. 10 Colgate, Saturday, 4 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bobcats make their final road trip of the regular season. There is a chance that it could also be the last time they play away from home before a possible date in Durham at the Frozen Four, should Quinnipiac retain first place in the ECAC and a top-four spot in the PairWise Rankings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 9 Princeton at No. 10 Colgate, Friday, 7 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Tigers and Raiders head into the weekend tied for third place with 21 points, so a win here will go a long way to not only locking down a host spot for the quarterfinals, but staying in contention for second. The first round went to Princeton, 3-2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rensselaer at No. 5 Clarkson, Friday, 7 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough the host is second and the visitor eighth, only three games separate these two in the ECAC&#8217;s tightly-bunched pack. The Engineers rallied over the Golden Knights with a 2-1 upset in November.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vermont at New Hampshire, Friday, 7 p.m. EST, and Saturday, 4 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nThese games will go a long way toward lessening the confusion in the middle of Hockey East. The Wildcats gained their first win of the season in the first contest, and it started a 21-game stretch where they have played at a .500 clip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mercyhurst at Robert Morris, Friday, 7:05 p.m. EST, and Saturday, 4:05 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Colonials present the highest remaining obstacle between Mercyhurst and its 14th consecutive CHA regular-season title. The Lakers took three of four points in the series in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 7 Bemidji State at St. Cloud State, Friday, 7:07 p.m. CST, and Saturday, 3:07 p.m. CST<\/strong><br \/>\nAny points that the Huskies can take out of this series increase the likelihood of these two winding up as first-round opponents in three weeks. The Beavers earned twin 3-1 verdicts in October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 5 Northeastern at Providence, Saturday, 2 p.m. EST<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Huskies tune up for the Beanpot; they won both of the earlier games by four goals over the Friars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kazmaier duo Amanda Kessel last played in an NCAA game the day after being awarded the 2013 Patty Kazmaier Award.
