Terriers traveled West yesterday to Amherst and rallied for a 2-2 overtime tie with UMass. Sahir Gill's third-period goal, his second in two games, knotted the score, after BU had fallen behind 2-0. After an Alex Chiasson shot hit the post, the Minutemen scored a power play goal with 34 seconds left in the opening period, then doubled their lead in the second with a goal just seconds after another power play expired.BU spent nearly a third of the middle period killing penalties. After Chiasson clanged another post, the Terriers finally got on the board when, with the teams skating 4-on-4, sophomore Matt Nieto scored his fifth goal late in the period on a feed from Charley Coyle.
The Long Beach, Calif., native, who also assisted on Gill's score and now has goals in his last seven games, earned first-star honors. [Note just prior to his goal (video) Nieto's backcheck following a UMass breakaway]
Senior goalie Kieran Millan, who was named second star, turned away 33 shots.
