BOSTON - Freshman Jeremy Wilmer's third-period strike forced overtime, but No. 14/13 UConn scored in the extra session to skate away with a 4-3 win over the No. 9/11 Boston University men's ice hockey team on Friday night at Agganis Arena.

Three different Terriers scored for BU (2-2-0, 0-1-0 HE), with senior Jamie Armstrong notching a goal and an assist for the first two-point night of his collegiate career. Junior Case McCarthy joined Armstrong in scoring his first goal of the season while freshman Ryan Greene, junior Dylan Peterson, freshman Lane Hutson, senior Sam Stevens and freshman Devin Kaplan each had one helper. Junior goaltender Vinny Duplessis made 26 saves for the Terriers.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• UConn opened the scoring just 5:21 into the proceedings, but McCarthy evened the score at 9:42 of the first when his shot from the top of the zone had eyes for the back of the net.
• Duplessis kept the game tied shortly after McCarthy's goal with a sensational save on a breakaway bid by Justin Pearson midway through the frame.
• Armstrong gave the Terriers a 2-1 lead when he snapped a shot from the slot past Logan Terness (24 saves).
• The Huskies tied the score with a power-play marker at 6:29 of the second period.

• UConn grabbed a 3-2 lead 2:04 into the final frame when Tristan Fraser capitalized on a favorable bounce after he won an offensive-zone draw.
• Wilmer equalized on a power play with 6:19 remaining in regulation. Peterson carried the puck into the zone and drove to the net. After a couple bounces, the puck ended up behind Terness. Wilmer located the puck first and banked it off Terness' pads and into the back of the net.
• BU outshot UConn, 12-5, in the third period but regulation ended without a winner.
• In overtime, BU controlled play during the first shift, but UConn gained control of the puck and Andrew Lucas fired home the winner just 56 seconds into the 3-on-3 period.
