AMHERST, Mass. - Senior captain Logan Cockerill scored a pair of goals and classmate David Farrance provided the game-winner as the Boston University men's ice hockey team posted a 4-2 road victory over No. 6 Massachusetts on Sunday at Mullins Center.

The Terriers, who trailed 2-1 after the opening period, snapped the Minutemen's nation-best seven-game win streak and improved to 2-0-1 on the season. Freshman Dylan Peterson opened the scoring with his first collegiate goal and classmate Drew Commesso turned in an impressive 33-save performance.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Terriers opened the scoring when sophomore Jamie Armstrong picked off a pass attempt by UMass goaltender Matt Murray along the end boards before quickly slotting a pass to Peterson in the right circle.
• Peterson buried the chance at 8:47 of the opening period for his first tally as a Terrier.
• The home team would take a lead into the first intermission, however, as Ty Farmer potted an equalizer at 14:26 before Carson Gicewicz converted on a power play in the final minute of the frame with his league-leading ninth tally of the year.
• After UMass kept the puck in the BU end for the majority of the first, the Terriers settled in, made adjustments and put together a strong final 40 minutes.
• Cockerill drew BU even on an impressive individual effort, breaking up a pass in the neutral zone before cashing in on the ensuing breakaway at 8:01 of the second.
• Soon after killing off a penalty later in the second, the Terriers got a power-play chance of their own and capitalized on it with the eventual game-winner.
• Sophomore Domenick Fensore stopped a clearing attempt by the UMass penalty kill and deftly slid the puck to a wide-open Farrance, who flung a wrister to the to the far corner from the right point with 6:36 remaining in the middle stanza.
• The Terriers took three straight penalties in the third but scored a shorthanded goal just 10 seconds into the first one to pick up an insurance goal that prevented the Minutemen from building any momentum.
• Cockerill won the faceoff to start the kill and sophomore Alex Vlasic chipped it behind the net to senior Max Kaufman, whose clearing attempt was raced down by Cockerill, who split two Minutemen at center ice while knocking the puck to himself and tucking a shot past Murray in one swift move.
• That tally came at 5:54 of the third and provided the eventual two-goal cushion as the penalty kill came up big and the Terriers managed a UMass extra attacker for the final three minutes of regulation.
