The university is pausing to remember Collier, a 2009 graduate, who authorities believe was killed by the Marathon bombing suspects.
Salem State University will hold a memorial service on Monday for Sean Collier, the 2009 graduate who was killed, authorities believe, by the Marathon bombers. The event is set for 4:30 p.m. on Monday on the lawn next to the campus police station, according to a university release.

A fund has been set up at Salem State to honor Collier's memory. To donate, the university asks persons to contact the alumni office at 978-542-…

"I just felt that last night, in the third period, we really kind of looked tired," said Julien whose team was outscored 2-0 in the game-deciding final-period. "We've kind of eliminated the fatigue excuse by giving them the day off today." The Bruins have been following a jam-packed schedule of 11 games in 19 days. "Didn't think there's much we would have done today that would benefit us in tomorrow's game," added Julien, whose squad did participate in off-ice workouts. Despite the whittled…
