BU won its second tournament of the season Saturday night, defeating Denver, 4-1, to win the Wells Fargo Denver Cup and improving its record to 13-4-1. For the second night in a row, the Terriers raced to an early 2-0 lead, getting goals from Vinny Saponari and Matt Gilroy, but when Denver cut the lead in half, senior Brandon Yip scored off a faceoff to restore the two goal margin after two. BU went into a prevent defense in the final period, but the only goal scored was Zach Cohen’s empty-netter.
