A pair of
goals by Rensselaer senior forward Ryan Haggerty were the difference in a 3-1
Engineer’s win at Agganis Arena, dealing BU its first loss of the season. The visitors
struck twice early in the opening period. When the Terrier defense couldn’t
corral a loose puck in front of the BU net, Matt Tinordi knocked it home for a
1-0 lead. A minute and a half later the lead was doubled when Haggerty’s power
play blast from the blueline beat Sean Maguire.
The Terriers
found their game in the middle period, outshooting the Engineers16 to 8 but they didn’t
get on the board until the 19 minute mark. Ahti Oksanen sent freshman Kevin
Duane in on a breakaway, which he converted for his first college goal. Oksanen
now has five assists in three games.
The momentum
BU hoped to carry into the final period was dissipated when Haggerty scored off
a faceoff, just 48 seconds into the period.
Head coach
David Quinn said:
I liked our
effort. The part I’m disappointed with was our puck movement. I thought we were
trying to make too many home run passes. I think we took five or six icings
because we were looking for that long pass and it just isn’t there. You’ve got
to pass the puck when you should, not when you have to.
One bright
spot for BU was in the faceoff circle, which the Terriers dominated, winning 43
of 73 draws.BU also enjoyed an overall 32-29 shot advantage.
