Captain Wade Megan had a hand in each Terrier goal as BU
beat Merrimack, 3-1, at Lawlor Arena. Freshman Ahti Oksanen opened the scoring
early in the second period one-timing a Cason Hohmann pass, followed seven
minutes later by Megan’s team-leading fifth goal of the season assisted by freshman Matt
Grzelcyk, who now has seven helpers.
Merrimack cut the lead in half on a power play 14 seconds
into the final period, but sophomore Evan Rodrigues, who had pinged a post in
the first period, restored the two-goal margin midway through the final stanza.
BU protected the 3-1 lead with freshman Matt O’Connor turning aside the final dozen
Warrior shots, stopping 34 overall for his fifth victory.
► All three members of BU’s first line—Megan, Hohmann and Rodrigues—finished +3.
Coach Jack Parker:
► Terriers showed a marked improvement on facings, winning 39 of 70. Hohmann won 14 of 23.
"One of the reasons why Rodrigues and Hohmann, two sophomores, are having real good jumps is because Megan’s playing so well with them as a senior and a captain. Having him on their left wing makes things go. I thought he played great tonight. He might’ve been the best player on the ice for us, not just because he figured in the scoring, but because he was up and down all night. He really had his legs. He played really well delivering the puck to the net. He really led the way for us tonight, I thought.”
► Terriers showed a marked improvement on facings, winning 39 of 70. Hohmann won 14 of 23.
► O’Connor’s GAA dropped to 1.66.
