Game Day-Terriers take on Northeastern--UPDATED

With the Terriers anxious to put the past weekend’s loss in the rearview mirror, a midweek game may have come at an opportune time. With Northeastern visiting Agganis Arena tonight, BU must put its focus on the next game rather than the last ones.

After winning only one of its first ten games (1-7-2), the Huskies have been more competitive lately, going 2-1-2 in the last five and coming off a 2-1 win over Merrimack.

Junior goalie Kieran Millan is expected to get the start in goal for BU, which will be without co-captain Chris Connolly (broken finger) for at least one more game. Tonight's lineup:

Nieto-Coyle-Chiasson
Gill-Trivino-Pereira
Glass-Gaudet-Megan
Courtnall-Rosen-Santana

Warsofsky-Ruikka
Noonan-Clendeningn
Escobedo-Nicastro

Millan


Tonight's game is the 207th in the series with Northeastern, the only team BU has played more than BC. Since the series began in 1930-31, BU holds a 147-51-8 (.733) advantage.

Women's team
The Terrier Women's team recorded its second consecutive shutout--and third in five games--blanking Northeastern, 3-0, at Walter Brown Arena last night. Goals by Holly Lorms, Jenn Wakefield and Marie-Philip Poulin back perfect goaltending by Kerrin Sperry, who raised her record to 10-0-2. Next up for the 13-2-3 Terriers is a matchup with Harvard on Friday, a 7 p.m. road game.
