04/10/2008 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nathan Gerbe recorded a hat trick and added an assist, as Boston College reached the championship game by defeating North Dakota, 6-1, in the Frozen Four.
Ben Smith and Dan Bertram each posted a goal and an assist for the Eagles (24-11-8), who will play the winner of the Notre Dame/Michigan game later on Thursday. Boston College will be making its third straight appearance in the title game. Last year, the Eagles lost to Michigan State, 3-1. In 2006, Boston College fell to Wisconsin, 2-1.
Brian Gibbons collected two helpers, while John Muse stopped 29-of-30 shots to pick up the win.
Jake Marto scored the lone goal for the Fighting Sioux (28-11-4), who were making their fourth consecutive trip to the Frozen Four. Jean-Philippe Lamoureux allowed six goals on 27 shots in defeat.
This marks the third straight year that North Dakota was ousted by Boston College in the semifinals.
The Eagles exploded for four goals in the first period.
Boston College grabbed a 1-0 lead when Andrew Orpik scored 7:08 into the first. A North Dakota turnover at its offensive blue line led to a 2-on-1 for the Eagles. Kyle Kucharski slipped the puck to Orpik in the slot and he slid the disc underneath the pads of Lamoureux.
Gerbe made it 2-0 with a short-handed goal at the 13:14 mark. Gerbe raced down the left side and snapped a shot from the circle that went between the legs of Lamoureux.
Gerbe lit the lamp again with 4:47 remaining, as his shot squeezed through Lamoureux and trickled across the goal line.
A costly gaffe by the Fighting Sioux behind their own net led to Pat Gannon throwing the puck out to Bertram, who ripped home a shot with 15 seconds left in the opening stanza.
Gerbe completed the hat trick with a power-play goal at the 6:37 mark of the middle stanza and Smith found the back of the net at 11:58 to give the Eagles a commanding 6-0 lead.
Marto broke Muse's shutout bid with 1:16 to play in regulation.
Boston College hasn't won the title since 2001.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
