BU 3, UConn 1

 

The No. 4-ranked BU Terriers bounce back from last night's home loss in Boston to beat No. 11 UConn, 3-1, on their home ice in Storrs. Jack Harvey scored twice, once in the first period and once in the third. Owen McLaughlin scored BU's goal in the second. Yegorov was much improved form last night and averaged ,960 in goal with 24 saves.

Cole Eiserman took a hit in the first period and was out for all of the second and third. No word yet on the extent of his injury.

With this series split, the Terriers are 1-1 in Hockey East play, 3-3-1 overall. Their 3 points trail Merrimack's 6 to put them in a three-way tie for second place with UConn and Northeastern. 

This week's rankings will be interesting. No. 2 and 3 Western Michigan and Michigan split their series this week, while No. 4 BU and No. 11 UConn also split a series. No. 5 Penn State beat unranked Stonehill (1-5-0), whoever they are, so the Nittany Lions won't have much swagger in the poll. Personally, if I were voting, I'd keep Nos. 1 through 5 exactly the same as they are now, but what do I know?   

Next weekend's going to be another tough one. The Terriers head up to Orono for a pair of games against No. 10 Maine (2-2-1 overall, 0-0 in conference play).
