For the second
night in a row, #11 Minnesota State broke a 3-3 tie and went on to defeat the
#8/9 Terriers. This time the final was 5-3 at the Verizon Center in Mankato. BU
had rallied from a 3-0 first period deficit to knot the score in the second,
only to have their hosts add a fourth goal with less than a second remaining in
the period.
Controlling draws and possession early, MSU scored twice in the middle of the opening period, first on Jared Spooner’s redirection and three minutes later on Connor Mackey’s power play goal. Late in the period Riese Zmolek extended the lead on a partial breakaway.
BU’s offense came to life in the middle period as it outshot the Mavericks, 18-6. With BU a man down, freshman Joel Farabee stole the puck, regained his footing after being tripped and raced into the MSU zone to beat Dryden McKay for his first collegiate goal.

Two minutes
later, senior co-captain Bobo Carpenter redirected sophomore David Farrance’s
shot past Dryden with junior Patrick Harper also assisting. After McKay had
made two highlight-reel saves, sophomore Shane Bowers converted a Farrance pass
from the right crease in the final minute to pull BU even at three apiece.
That didn’t last long. At 19:59, Charlie Gerard scored on the rush to put the Mavericks on top to stay.
Once again, penalties put a crimp in BU’s attack, committing three infractions in the final period as the Terriers were pushing for an equalizer. BU had just 25 seconds of power play time in the final period. Jake Oettinger made a huge glove save on a Mavericks power play to keep the margin at one before a Marc Michaelisempty-netter closed out the scoring.
Rebounding from a tough first period, Oettinger stopped 18 of the last 19 shots he faced and had 26 saves overall. BU failed to cash in on any of its six power plays, although three of them were abbreviated (one lasted just seven seconds).

Commenting on Farrance, who had four assists in the two games, Coach Albie O'Connell said, "“He was
dynamite. He played a lot of minutes. Our D-corps was dinged up. It was a gutsy
effort by our D. (But) we didn’t like the results.”
