"It's something I can't explain," said an emotional Daccord. "Growing up in the Boston area, everybody wants to go to BC or BU, and BC was my dream school growing up so it's pretty special to beat them."

"Tonight, Joey stole that game," said Powers. "I mean we did some good things, I thought we were the better team in the third period. I loved how our guys for the better part of 16 minutes there controlled the play. We played our game the way we need to be successful and I really liked how our team closed it out."

The win marked ASU's 7th sweep of the season -- their 5th at home -- and eighth-straight win at home.

Steenn Pasichnuk .

"We know the way we can play and we know what's right and what's wrong," said junior forward.
