BOSTON - The No. 15 Boston University men's ice hockey team dropped a 6-1 road decision to No. 13 Northeastern on Friday evening at Matthews Arena.

Sophomore Patrick Harper's goal 42 seconds into the second period cut Northeastern's lead to 2-1 but the Terriers could get no closer and fell to 4-6-1 overall and 2-3-1 in Hockey East play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Northeastern's Lincoln Griffin tallied two goals and an assist and Adam Gaudette also found the back of the net twice to lead the Huskies to a home-and-home sweep following a 4-1 NU win at Agganis Arena on Nov. 4.
Stevens opened the scoring exactly three minutes into the game with a perfectly placed wrister from above the left circle before Gaudette made it 2-0 just over three minutes later.
The Terriers got back in the game when Harper scored on a delayed penalty in the opening moments of the second period.
With 3:30 left in the second period and Northeastern on the power play, Gaudette potted his second goal of the night to give Huskies a two-goal lead again at 3-1.
Griffin added another power-play goal at the 6:39 mark of the third before completing his three-point night just over seven minutes later with another tally to push the lead to 5-1.
A third NU power-play goal came from the stick of Bobby Hampton with 6.8 seconds left in regulation.

GAME NOTES
