Statewide, Kane finds that busing, in fact, dominates all other issues...
Paul collected the goal, his sixth of the season, taking a pass from Bob Goodenow at the corner of the crease and flipping a backhander over Eberly. Dave Hynes made it 6-3 at 15:38 with a five-footer, and Northeastern forgot about its distant upset hopes...
