BURR'S OVERTIME HEROICS

• On the opening possession of overtime, junior Jack Wilson got the ball at X and found Burr open in the left alley. Burr notched his second goal of the game to give the Terriers' their first-ever 10-win season and first-ever berth in the Patriot League tournament.
• The goal was Burr's second career overtime-winner. He clinched a 10-9 victory for BU against then-No. 16 Navy in double overtime last year.

ANOTHER CAREER DAY FOR DEARTH

• Senior Cal Dearth matched his career high with five goals and also added an assist to complete a six-point day.
• Dearth also collected three ground balls.

CALISTO WITH AN ALL-AMERICAN PERFORMANCE

• Senior Dominick Calisto was simply outstanding on Saturday as he held the nation's leading assist getter and second-leading point producer, Pat Spencer, to just one assist.
• Saturday was the first time all season that Spencer was held to just one point and only the second time in 2017 that he was held without a goal.
• Calisto finished with two ground balls and one caused turnover.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Terriers opened the game with three straight goals from Wilson, sophomore Brendan Homire and Dearth, but Loyola answered with three straight of its own to create a 3-3 tie after 15 minutes.
• The teams were tied, 4-4, with 10:46 left in the second stanza before Loyola added two goals to take a 6-4 lead into the break.
• Defense and goaltending dominated for most of the third quarter, with Loyola finally breaking through with 3:27 to play in the frame to take a 7-4 lead.
• Burr cut the deficit to 7-5, but Loyola once again responded to make it 8-5.
• Dearth then took over, scoring twice in 55 seconds to cut the deficit to 8-7 entering the final frame.
• Loyola scored first in the fourth quarter, but junior Hayden Ruiz and Wilson found the back of the net just 22 seconds apart to tie the score, 9-9.
• Zack Sirico regained a one-goal edge for Loyola with 9:11 to play, but senior Henry Lee responded by winning a ground ball on the ensuing faceoff and feeding Dearth to tie the game just seven seconds later.
• Senior Christian Carson-Banister made eight saves, but perhaps none bigger than the stop he had on Alex McGovern with just over four minutes to play. McGovern was in all alone on Carson-Banister after a Terrier turnover, but the senior netminder denied McGovern and kept the game tied.
• Moments later, sophomore Michael Laviano gave the Terriers an 11-10 lead when he converted a feed from Wilson with 3:26 remaining.
• The Greyhounds evened the score with 2:11 on the clock and had the final possession of regulation, but Carson-Banister made another key stop to send the game to overtime.

GAME NOTES

• Wilson extended his point streak to 39 games thanks to his two goals and three assists.
• Junior Joe Stucky went 17-of-27 at the faceoff X with eight ground balls. He was 5-of-6 in the third quarter and followed that up with a 6-of-9 effort in the fourth quarter and overtime.
• Dearth last had five goals on Feb. 18 at Hartford.
• Lee assisted on two of Dearth's goals, the first two-assist day for the senior long pole. He also gathered five ground balls and forced one of Loyola's eight turnovers.
• BU is 3-0 all-time now in overtime tilts, having won twice in overtime this season. The Terriers topped Providence, 8-7, in double overtime to open the 2017 campaign.
• Freshman John MacLean was one of eight Terriers with a point thanks to his assist.
• All six starters at attack and midfield for the Terriers registered at least one point.

UP NEXT

• The Terriers will close out the conference schedule on Friday night at Nickerson Field against Holy Cross.
• BU will honor its 17-member senior class at the game, which will take place at 7 p.m.
