Okay, now the nerdlings who will eventually rule the world have figured out how to play hockey. During a rare weeknight game last night, the Boston University men's hockey team lost to the Harvard Crimson, 6-5, at BU's Agganis Arena.
BU trailed, 3-2, at the start of the third period, but the Terriers managed to tie the game up twice before finally taking their first lead of the game at the 8:19 mark in the third. However, Harvard came back and tied it at 5-5, and then took a 6-5 lead with 7:47 remaining in regulation. BU's Jack Harvey evened the score for the fourth time of the night with 51.4 seconds left to play, but after a long Harvard Law Review the goal was overturned due to the puck being played with a high stick prior to the goal.
Ryder Ritchie, Haoxi Wang, Tynan Lawrence, Kamil Bednarik, and Viktor Nörringer all scored goals for the Terriers. Mikhail Yegorov made 17 saves in the net.
The No. 13 Terriers drop to 7-4-0 overall but remain 4-2-0 and in second place in the Hockey East standings after the nonconference game.
They play another weeknight game next week against No. 5 Quinnipiac (7-2-0) on Wednesday, November 18. They'll probably face Harvard again later this winter in the Beanpot tournament, depending on seeding and/or first-round results.
