    • BU headed to the power play mid way through the third, but after a turnover just inside the offensive blue line, Iacobellis skated up ice with two Terriers on his tail. He then dished the puck over to Pigozzi, who beat Oettinger up high to cut BU’s lead to one.
  • BU goal – 14:51 – Krys (2) from Greenway (11) and Carpenter (8)

  • BU goal – 15:39 – Chabot (2) from Roberto (5) and Fabbro (4)
    • Roberto received a pass from Fabbro on the right wing. He carried the puck into the UMass zone and ripped a shot on Wischow, who left a juicy rebound into the left circle.

    • Goals four and five for the Terriers were scored 48 seconds apart.
