BU-Northeastern game recaps


We have recaps and other coverage of last night’s 1-1 tie between BU and Northeastern:
GoTerriers.com, USCHO, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, detailed boxscore and Brian Kelley’s in-game blog.

►BU played without senior Chris Higgins, who injured a hand on Friday night and sophomore Joe Pereira who had wisdom tooth problems. Victor Saponari made his first start since. January 16.

►Gilroy became the 8th Terrier to score a shorthanded goal this season, and the third defenseman, joining David Warsofsky and Kevin Shattenkirk.

►Since Thanksgiving, the Terriers are 18-1-4. In their current 12 game unbeaten streak (9-0-3), BU has yield just 20 goals, an average of 1.66 gpg.

USCHO offers a feature on the improbable path that led walk-on Gilroy to All-American status at BU.
