In
a tightly-contested game, Denver broke a 1-1 tie midway through the third
period on a power-play goal--Henrik Borgstrom’s second score of the contest--and went on to defeat BU at Magness Arena. The Pioneers added an empty-net goal
for the final 3-1 margin.
The
first period was scoreless despite the Terriers’ nine to three shot advantage
and limiting Denver to one even-strength shot. But less than two minutes into
the middle period, Borgstrom scored on the rush with a sharp angle shot that
fooled freshman netminder Jake Oettinger . DU held a 12-7 shot advantage in the
period, which ended with a late Pioneer penalty.
With
the man-advantage continuing into the third period, BU knotted score on
freshman Kieffer Bellows’ first collegiate goal. The wing from Edina, Minn.,
wristed a shot past Tanner Jaillet from the right circle, assisted by sophomore Charlie McAvoy and freshman Patrick Harper. The game's pivotal sequence came when BU had another power
play at the 5:34 mark but failed to put a shot on goal. A minute after it expired,
Denver went on the power play and with three seconds left in the man-advantage,
Borgstrom broke in and scored on the backhand to regain the lead.
Coach
David Quinn pulled Oettinger, who had 20 saves for the game, with just under two minutes left in the period, but BU couldn’t
produce the equalizer. Denver’s Tyson McLellan found the empty net for the final 3-1 score.

Women’s
Team
Grad

Terriers to a 7-2 win over Penn State at Pergula Ice Arena. Senior Maddie Elia
contributed a goal and two helpers as BU snapped a two-game winless streak.
Parker’s
first two goals, sandwiched between a Nittany Lions score, and sophomore Sammy
Davis’ power play tally gave BU a 3-1 lead after one period. Penn State cut the
margin to one early in the second, but Parker completed her hat trick midway
through the period and sophomore Connor Galway notched her first collegiate
goal on a blueline blast to give BU a 5-2 lead. Elia’s fourth goal of the
season and Mary Grace Kelley’s first—both assisted by Parker—brought the final
tally to 7-2.
