Terriers edge PC 3-2--UPDATED

Terriers and Friars meet again tonight (Saturday) at Agganis in a game televised by NESN.

Terriers returned to the win column with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory at Providence. Junior Sahir Gill’s wrap-around goal seven minutes into the third period was the game-winner, his second in recent weeks. After spotting the Friars a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, BU knotted the score on a pair of Evan Rodrigues goals, first converting a Danny O’Regan pass late in the first and then slamming home a rebound six minutes into the second period.

The sophomore from Etobicoke, Ontario, has five goals in the past three games, but his hot stick will be cooling off as he suffered a hand injury in the third period and left the game. Senior Ryan Santana replaced him on BU’s second line.

Freshman Sean Maguire, whose five-game winning streak ended last weekend, backboned the victory with 32 saves and stood tall during two late Friar power plays, turning aside six shots.

With the win, BU moves into second place in Hockey East and was the only one of the conference’s top four teams to emerge with a win Friday night. The teams meet again tonight at Agganis Arena. Puck drop is 7 p.m. and the game will air on NESN.

A pair of goals by freshman Jordan Juron and Kerrin Sperry’s 23 saves helped #5 BU extend its unbeaten streak to 11 games (9-0-2) with a 5-2 win against Vermont at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Terriers also received goals from junior co-captain Marie-Philip Poulin, sophomore Kayla Tutino and freshman Sarah Lefort. The win gives the Terriers sole possession of first place in Hockey East.
