HOCKEY

Boston U wins title

WASHINGTON, D.C. - To Boston University, it must feel as though it got to celebrate this NCAA hockey championship twice.

Trailing by two goals with less than a minute left in regulation, the top-seeded Terriers stormed back to force overtime, then beat Miami (Ohio) 4-3 on a goal that went in off a RedHawks player in the extra session Saturday night.

Colby Cohen was credited with the winning goal on a slap shot that ricocheted off defenseman Kevin Roeder 11:47 into OT and gave BU its fifth national hockey title - and first since 1995.

Franzen gets 11-year deal

DETROIT - Detroit signed forward Johan Franzen to an 11-year deal Saturday, keeping him off the free agent market and retaining talent that helped the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup.

"His production over the past year and a half, both regular season and playoffs, has been remarkable and we feel, at 29 years old, that he is just now entering the prime of his career," said general manager Ken Holland.

The Red Wings also kept forward Henrik Zetterberg off the market with a 12-year deal in January. They are hoping to do the same with forward Marian Hossa before he becomes a free agent this summer.
