BREAKING: Merrimack Falls in Manchester
Merrimack's season ended Saturday with a 4-3 defeat by Notre Dame in sudden death overtime.
In their own back yard, the Warriors lost their chance at the Elite Eight Saturday night.
The Warriors were defeated 4-3 in sudden death overtime by Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, N.H., after an intense game.
The game started off in Merrimack's favor, as Warriors captain Chris Barton, who missed all of the Hockey East Playoffs at TD Garden with a hip injury, was seen skating during the pre-game warm-ups. The Warriors started out strong, taking the lead and running with it.
