Terriers Fall to No. 13/14 Boston College, 4-1

Box Score Highlights, Pandolfo Postgame

BOSTON - Junior Jack Harvey scored his ninth goal of the season, but the Boston University men's ice hockey team fell to No. 13/14 Boston College, 4-1, on Friday night at a sold-out Agganis Arena.

Harvey's power-play strike just 37 seconds into the third period cut the BC (14-8-1, 10-5-0 HE) lead to just 3-1, but BU (12-13-1, 8-10-0 HE) was unable to get any closer and the Eagles added a late empty-netter to seal the victory.

Freshman Ben Merrill and sophomore Cole Eiserman assisted on Harvey's goal.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU fed off the building's energy early in the first period and outshot the Eagles, 4-1, in the first three minutes before Andre Gasseau gave BC a 1-0 lead.
Freshman Jack Murtagh had two bids on a 2-on-1, but both his initial attempt and his follow-up were denied by Louka Cloutier (33 saves)
Freshman Charlie Trethewey sprang sophomore Sacha Boisvert with a great outlet pass less than a minute into the second stanza, but Cloutier once again came up with the necessary stop.
BC added two goals in the second to take a 3-0 lead, but James Hagens was whistled for unsportsmanlike at the final whistle of the frame, so BU started the third period with a power play.
Harvey made the Eagles pay just 37 seconds into the ensuing man advantage. Merrill found him in transition with a nice feed, and Harvey's knuckleball popped over Cloutier and into the back of the net.
BU killed two consecutive penalties and got a power-play chance of its own early in the third but the Terriers were unable to convert and the Eagles maintained their two-goal edge.
After the Terriers were forced to kill a penalty with 4:15 remaining in regulation, BC added an empty-netter with 1:13 to play.

GAME NOTES

Sophomore Mikhail Yegorov made 17 saves.
BU went 5-for-5 on the penalty kill and 1-for-5 on the power play.
The Terriers combined for 20 blocked shots, with Trethewey, junior captain Gavin McCarthy, junior Aiden Celebrini and junior Mick Frechette totaling three blocks apiece.

UP NEXT

The 73rd annual Dunkin' Men's Beanpot will begin on Monday night, with the Terriers opening their title defense against Northeastern in the late game.
Puck drop at TD Garden is scheduled for 8 p.m.
