River Hawks turn tables on BU



The Terriers’ two-game winning streak was halted as UMass-Lowell reversed Friday night’s verdict with a 3-2 win at Agganis Arena. BU took three first-period penalties and paid the price as the River Hawks took a 1-0 lead into the second period. BU tied the score on Vinny Saponari’s (photo) first goal of the season, a second after a power play ended. Lowell answered a minute later, then stretched the lead to two before Captain Kevin Shattenkirk’s power play blast made it 3-2 Lowell, the same score after two as on Friday night.

But this time there would be no third-period heroics. BU unleashed seven shots on two power plays and outshot Lowell 11-3, allowing just one even-strength shot in the final stanza, but Nevin Hamilton turned the Terriers away to secure the win for the River Hawks. BU struggled again on faceoffs with Lowell enjoying a wide margin and the Terrier defense
