The Boston University men's lacrosse team will continue its 2018 season on Tuesday night when the Terriers welcome Dartmouth to Nickerson Field. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

A NEW OPPONENT FOR THE TERRIERS

  • Tuesday will be the first time that BU and Dartmouth have met.
  • Dartmouth will be the 13th different non-conference opponent and 21st different opponent overall that the Terriers have faced.
  • Of those 21 opponents, BU has defeated all but three (Ohio State, Duke, Army West Point).

SCOUTING THE BIG GREEN

  • Dartmouth opened its season on Saturday with a 13-12 home win against Canisius.
  • Jack Korzelius scored the game-winner with 1.9 seconds remaining in regulation.
  • That was one Korzelius' three goals on the day.
  • Six other players finished with multiple points, including freshman attack George Prince, who totaled a team-high four points thanks to a team-best three assists.
  • Chris Bacotti finished 8-of-15 at the faceoff X with seven ground balls.
  • George Christopher started in the cage and played the first 32:19, allowing seven goals and making three saves.
  • Alex Burnley came in for the final 27:41 and stopped three of the eight shots on goal he faced.

RECAPPING THE OHIO STATE GAME

  • BU battled back from a 10-1 halftime deficit and got within five in the third quarter, but current No. 4/5 Ohio State earned a 15-9 home win on Feb. 10.
  • Junior James Burr and senior Jack Wilson each tallied three goals while sophomore John MacLean added two assists.
  • Freshman Chris Gray and junior Brendan Homire each had a goal and an assist apiece while senior Ryan Hilburn also found the back of the net.
  • Sophomore Joe McSorley made a career-best 13 saves and also collected a career-high six ground balls.

FOUR TERRIERS NAMED ALL-NEW ENGLAND

  • Senior Jack Wilson, junior Quintin Germain, and sophomores John MacLean and Chase Levesque all earned preseason All-New England honors from the NEILA last week.
  • All four received second-team recognition.
  • Wilson was selected at attack, Germain at close defense, MacLean at midfield and Levesque at long-stick midfield.
  • Wilson also recevied All-New England accolades at the end of the 2017 season.

HOME SWEET HOME

  • BU has been outstanding at home since the start of the 2017 season, going 8-1 at Nickerson Field.
  • The Terriers are a perfect 4-0 against non-conference opponents at home in that stretch, including a 12-11 win over Providence on Feb. 3.
  • BU has averaged 11.33 goals per game at home since the start of last year and has held opponents to just 8.78 goals per game.

NEXT UP: NAVY
