Terriers and X-Men knotted at 2



BU’s first exhibition game, against St. Francis Xavier, was one of those affairs where the score belied the on-ice action. Despite outshooting the X-Men by a 53-16 margin, the result was a 2-2 overtime tie. Nick Bonino and Corey Trivino (photo) scored the BU goals, while Kieran Millan stopped all seven shots he faced and Adam Kraus stopped seven of nine. Picking up where he left off last season, Zach Cohen earned the coaching staff’s designation as “Best player on the ice.”

Game photos and comments from Coach Jack Parker on a wide range of topics, including line combinations and the play of three freshmen defenseman, are available on The Boston Hockey Blog . There also are comments from Millan and Bonino.
