Monday’s earthquake was felt as far south as Rhode Island, and while the shaking may have caught a lot of people off guard, it wasn't severe enough to cause any real damage. According to a geophysics professor at Boston College,

The US Geological Survey said this quake, whose epicenter was about 7 miles from southern Maine’s coastal town of York, was the strongest earthquake to strike the Northeast since last April’s 4.8 shaker in northern New Jersey, which was also felt across must of Southern New England, including Boston.

Mansfield was one of the many Mainers to make the trip south to Boston College on Saturday to see Flagg and Duke take on the Eagles. It was as close as Flagg, who in a short time playing college ball has only cemented his place as the top prospect in the upcoming NBA draft, will come this season to playing near his hometown, Newport.

The No. 1 Boston College Eagles (18-4-1, 11-3-1 HE) men’s hockey team is looking to win its seventh straight game as it hosts the No. 8 UMass Lowell River Hawks (13-7-3, 6-5-2 HE) on Friday night.

Black Bears-Huskies is Friday at 7 p.m., followed by Maine-UMass on Sunday at 4 p.m. Both games will be on ESPN+.

The No. 3 Blue Devils and freshman phenom Cooper Flagg of Newport, Maine, took the court against the Eagles as a consensus 23.5-point favorite with an over/under betting line of 138.5.
