Cason Hohmann’s
power play goal in the second period was the margin of victory as BU defeated
Holy Cross, 3-2, to complete a weekend sweep. The junior center converted the
rebound of a shot by co-captain Garrett Noonan, who earned the game’s first
star. Matt Lane also drew an assist.
Noonan also
set up the game’s first goal, sending Danny O’Regan in alone on a first-period
breakaway, which the sophomore converted with a slick move to the backhand.
After Holy Cross tied the score on a second-period power play, freshman Nick
Roberto registered his first goal of the season, aided by Ahti Oksanen’s fourth
assist of the weekend and by Kevin Duane, playing his first game and displaying
some tenacious forechecking.
Hohmann’s
goal extended the lead to 3-1 before the Crusaders’ Adam Schmitt cut the lead
in half early in the final period. Matt O’Connor, stopped eleven other shots in
the third period and 21 shots overall to gain his first win of the season.
Head coach David Quinn told the Boston Hockey Blog he was pleased with the team's effort, adding:
“We have a vision of how we want to play night in and night out and how we ultimately want to look. I thought we took a big step forward toward that… I thought tonight, like I said, I thought there were a lot of signs of us moving forward, which I think we have to got keep going.”
BU is back in
action next weekend with home games against ECAC rival Rennselaer and the new
Big Ten conference’s Wisconsin.
