BU led after one period, 2-0, then fell behind 3-2 in the second before tying the score on power play goal. The Catamounts took a second lead on their own power play goal midway through the third period, but in a 1:13 span, Higgins tied the score and Wilson put the Terriers on top to stay. BU denied the Cats any quality chances during the final five minutes.
