Behind two-goal nights from both co-captain Bobo Carpenter
and Shane Bowers, and a strong 40-save performance by Jake Oettinger, BU
defeated UMass Lowell, 5-2, at the Tsongas Center, ending a four-game skid.
Patrick Curry also scored for the Terriers and had a career-best three points.
BU played its best opening period of the season scoring
three times in a four-minute span. At the ten-minute mark, Carpenter took a
Kasper Kotkansalo pass in the high slot, spun around and whipped a shot past goalie Tyler
Wall. Three minutes later, Kotkansalo fed Bowers in the neutral zone and the
sophomore center raced into the Lowell zone, then fired home a backhander from
the right circle.
Then with Lowell on a power play, Carpenter scored
shorthanded, converting the rebound of Curry’s initial bid. The River Hawks got
one back on the same power play when Charlie Levesque got behind the Terrier
defense and beat Oettinger with a backhander.
Midway through the second period, Lowell cut the lead to one
on Mattias Goransson’s slapshot from the top of the left circle. The River
Hawks had 14 shots in the middle period but Oettinger stopped several grade A
shots to keep BU in the lead.
Curry scored a power play goal early in the third, assisted
by Max Willman and David Farrance, to give BU a 4-2 cushion. Then with three
minutes left, Bowers, again racing into the Lowell end of the ice, took a pass
from Curry, closed on the net and backhanded a shot past Chris Hernberg, who
had replaced Wall.
