recent success
Sean Escobedo (44)
and Alexx Privitera (43) are #1 and #2 in blocked shots in conference games.
BU completed the
first semester without a single tie for the first time since 2004-05. Last season,
the Terriers played just one tie, a 2-2 come-from-behind deadlock with UMass on
Oct. 28. Two seasons ago—eight ties.
Looking ahead
2013 recruit Brendan
Collier assisted on two goals, including the game-winner in the Valley Jr.
Warriors 4-3 OT win against Apple Core. Collier is second on his team in points
with 18 in 23 games.
Looking back
Charlie Coyle’s
eighth goal of the season was the game winner for Houston, which edged Peoria,
3-2.
John McCarthy scored
his third goal of the season in Worcester’s 3-2 win against Manchester.
Former All-American
goalie John Curry earned
his ninth win of the season and picked up an assist in ECHL Orlando’s 6-2 win
against Ft. Wayne.
Chris Higgins scored
a goal and an assist for Wheeling, but Corey Trivino assisted on two late goals
for the Florida Everblades, who went on to win in a shootout, 5-4.
Women’s Team
While the men played
tie-free hockey, the #7 Terriers, played a pair of ties with Minnesota-Duluth
on the road this weekend. Saturday’s 2-2 tie was followed by a scoreless
deadlock on Sunday.
