TURNING POINT

Army West Point won the ensuing faceoff and ran much of the clock down, but BU forced a shot clock violation with less than a minute to play.
The Terriers got a good look on their final possession, but the Black Knights backed up a shot that went above the cage and hung on for the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Wilson opened the scoring for BU before the Black Knights rattled off three straight goals to enter the second quarter with a 3-1 lead.
BU regained a one-goal lead thanks to goals from Wilson, freshman John MacLean and senior Pat Myers.
Army West Point tied the game, 4-4, before the Terriers worked some magic at the buzzer.
Carson-Banister sent a pass the length of the field to sophomore James Burr, and Burr scored at the buzzer to give BU a 5-4 lead at halftime.
The Black Knights scored the first two goals of the third quarter, but Wilson answered to tie the game, 6-6.
After an Army goal, junior Hayden Ruiz got his first of the game to send the teams to the fourth quarter all even at 7-7.
The Terriers took an 8-7 lead early in the fourth quarter thanks to some slick passing. Senior Allen Winkoff led Burr with a pass as he stepped onto the field, and Burr quickly found a cutting Dearth who buried it past AJ Barretto.
Burr then made it 9-7 when Wilson's pass pulled Barretto from his cage and allowed for an easy finish for the sophomore.
The Black Knights scored two straight goals of their own to tie the score, 9-9, with 5:42 remaining.
Wilson converted a feed from sophomore Michael Laviano to give BU a 10-9 lead, but the Black Knights scored on a transition chance to even the score with less than three minutes to play and then took an 11-10 lead with 2:08 to play.
