With this weekend's NCAA hockey scores now in, Boston College headlines four Boston-area teams ranked in this week's USCHO Top 25.

At 4-1, the Eagles are the nation's top team, courtesy of back-to-back wins this weekend over UMass-Lowell. The Eagles notched a 1-0 victory on Friday night, before adding a 6-3 victory on Sunday. Kevin Hayes led Boston College with two goals in the second victory.

In addition to the Eagles, the college hockey scene remains strong around the rest of Boston as well, with Boston University coming in at No. 12 in Monday's poll, Harvard following up at No. 13 and Northeastern at No. 15.

It was a successful weekend for the Boston University Terriers, who took two games from UMass-Amherst by scores of 5-2 and 3-2. Like cross-town rival Boston College, Boston University is now 4-1 on the year.

Meanwhile, Harvard beat Bentley by a final score of 5-2 to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Northeastern finished at No. 15 this week, after going 0-1-1 in two games this weekend with New Hampshire.
