Providence
gained a split in the weekend series, defeating BU 3-1 Saturday night, dealing
BU its first conference loss. Despite Friday night’s comeback win, the third
period continues to be a problem for BU. For the third time in ten days, the
Terriers have allowed strong goaltending in an away game to be wasted by
yielding the game-winner in the final period.
Terriers
scored the game’s first goal on a power play at 15:08 of the middle period when
Ahti Oksanen took pass from Nick Roberto at the top of the circle and rifled a
shot past Jon Gillies. Danny O’Regan also assisted. Just under three minutes
later, the Friars evened the score on a 5-on-3 power play with Derek Army converting
after Sean Maguire made the initial stop.
Providence
took the lead at 3:28 of the third when Ross Mauermann muscled past the BU
defense and scored in close. Terriers were unable to put an equalizer past
Gillies and Mauermann closed the scoring with an empty-netter in the final
minute.
Maguire’s
33 saves earned him third-star honors.
Terriers
are now 2-1-0 in the conference and 4-4-0 overall.
