The Babson College men’s ice hockey team captured the New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) championship Saturday night to earn an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III tournament.

Rory Casey ’23 scored twice as Babson defeated Skidmore College, 5-3, in the NEHC championship game at the Babson Skating Center. The sixth-ranked Beavers earned their seventh conference championship in program history and their first since back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014.

Babson (19-5-2) now advances to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row and the 18th time overall.
