WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross men's hockey team is hosting American International in the semifinals of the Atlantic Hockey Tournament.

It's a best of three series, with games one and two at the Hart Center Friday and Saturday night at 7 p.m., and, if necessary, game three is Sunday at 5 p.m.

Holy Cross has won nine of their last 10 games, including a sweep of Canisius last weekend in the quarterfinals. They are pumped about having home ice and are riding hot goaltending.

"Last year, Jason Grande did a great job for us in the playoffs and he's kind of carried that over into this year," Holy Cross head coach Bill Riga said. "But he got hurt a couple times and Thomas Gale jumped in so they both have great numbers and helped us win games this year. So wherever we go with the goaltending we know we have two guys that can step in there and get the job done in tough situations."

The last time Holy Cross and AIC faced off was eary January, with AIC winning the first game in a shootout after a scoreless overtime. Holy Cross won the next night 6-2.
