A tough first half of the second period cost Boston College a win tonight, as BC fell to BU by a score of 3-1 despite strong play in the first and the third.
The teams skated a high energy first period, with neither team managing to break through for a goal, and with the refs letting a lot slide penalty-wise.
The first period ended tied at 0, but BU scored just over a minute into the second to take a 1-0 lead. The Terriers scored again midway through the game to go up 2-0.
The Eagles earned a 2 man advantage with 5:21 to go in the second, and Andre Gasseau converted off a great pass from Nikita Nesterenko less than 10 seconds in to cut BU’s lead to 2-1.
