A night after a blowout win, BU received a stiffer
challenge but came away with a 4-3 win over Arizona State to complete its
second consecutive weekend sweep. Freshman Shane Bowers’ 12th goal of
the season proved the difference, giving the Terriers a 4-2 lead in the third
period before a late ASU power play goal narrowed the margin. Three Terrier
blueliners, Captain Brandon Hickey, Dante Fabbro and Brien Diffley also found
the net, in a penalty-filled contest that saw BU take 15 penalties and 18 for ASU.

Hickey opened the scoring on a power play, one-timing a
Hank Crone pass from the top of the left circle. Drew Melanson also assisted.

BU doubled the lead when Brady Tkachuk head-manned a pass
to Melanson, who skated into the Sun Devils zone and dropped a pass to a
trailing Fabbro for a one-timer from the right circle.
ASU’s Johnny Walker scored a power play goal at 0;54 of
the second period and six minutes later Jacob Wilson knotted the score with a
shorthander. BU responded 20 seconds later when Brien Diffley scored his first
of the year with assists from Nikolas Olsson and Fabbro.

Bowers game-winner early in the third period on a rebound
of a Fabbro shot needed an officials’ review before it went up on the board for
a 4-2 lead. David Norris trimmed the margin to one with a power play goal late
in the period but Jake Oettinger, who made nine of his 18 saves in the final
period, slammed the door.
Wilson's tally for the Sun Devils marked the first time
all season that BU gave up a shorthanded goal.
Oettinger has given up just one even-strength goal in the
past 235 minutes of play.

With the NHL and Boston celebrating the 60th

been given the abandoned jersey decades ago and decided to present it to O’Ree
at a milestone event.
