Terriers fell to Notre Dame, 5-2 in an uneven effort marked by defensive lapses and turnovers. Assistant captain Justin Courtnall (photo) gave BU it’s only lead of the night late in the opening period converting a rebound after Cason Hohmann had put a shot on goal right from the draw in the faceoff circle.

In the final period, Notre Dame outshot the Terriers19 to nine, adding two more goals before junior Wade Megan’s shorthanded goal closed out the scoring.

O’Sullivan, who played 62 NHL games and now is an Islanders scout, helped the BPD will a silver medal at the World Police & Fire Games in San Jose this past September.
