Terriers maintained their #20 ranking in the USCHO Weekly Poll, which has Denver as the top rated team, followed by Minnesota State and Minnesota-Duluth.

BU's home-opener opponent, Northern Michigan blanked Michigan State, 2-0, Saturday to earn a split in its series with the Spartans, who won Friday’s contest, 5-3. Two weeks ago, the Wildcats edged the NTDP U18s in an exhibition game.

The previous night, the U18s dropped a 2-1 decision to Providence College in overtime. 2020 recruit Luke Tuch, who leads the team in points with nine points, assisted on Team USA’s only goal.

2022 recruit Ryan Greene, who leads the Selects Academy 16U Nationals with 28 points in 18 games, played a pair of games with the USHL Green Bay Gamblers over the weekend recording one assist and two shots on goal. Greene was Green Bay’s first round pick—third overall—in the USHL Phase 1 draft this past May.

2021 recruit Quinn Hutson received a strong review from NEHJ’s Jeff Cox at the recent Mid-Fairfield Showcase. Hutson, who plays for the North Jersey Avalanche 18U, skated for the Avs 16Us last season on a line with 2021 recruit Jeremy Wilmer and 2022 recruit Devin Kaplan, eclipsing the 100-point mark and helping his team reach the Nationals.

Hutson continues to have a monster fall for the Avs. He’s a skilled winger with speed. He’s able to get to pucks and create time and space. He was really good on a line with center Anthony Calafiore and left wing Chris Carroll.

Women’s Team

Terriers dropped a 4-2 decision to New Hampshire in Durham Saturday night.  BU took an early lead on a power play as Abby Cook connected on a one-timer at the six-minute mark. But beginning at 14:28 of the period, the Wildcats would score three times during a 12-minutes span for a 3-1 lead.

With BU back on the power play late in the second period, Sammy Davis cleaned up a rebound after attempts by Nara Elia and Courtney Correia were stopped. Trailing 3-2 going into the final period, the Terriers would outshoot UNH, 13-10, but the Wildcats produced the only goal, a power play tally. 

Kate Stuart stopped 43 UNH shots, including 21 of 22 in the first period alone. BU played its third game without last year’s leading scorer, Jesse Compher.
