The sixth-seeded BU Terriers won the opening round of the Hockey East tournament last night with a 4-1 decision over 11-seed Vermont. This was the Terriers' 16th straight tournament win at Agganis Arena.
Cole Eiserman opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period. Vermont got their only goal of the game in the second, but then Eiserman tied it up with another goal in the third. Cole Hutson scored on another power play later that period, and Jack Harvey knocked in an open-netter late in the game to seal the win.
And with that, the Terriers (17-16-2) keep their post-season hopes alive and advance to the semifinals, where they'll face No. 3-seed UConn (18-11-5) on Saturday (1:00 pm). BU and UConn split a home-and-away series back in October, with both teams winning on the other team's ice. Saturday's game will be played at UConn's mafia-sounding Toscano Family Ice Forum.
Go, Terriers!
