Ryan Steele scored the game-winner with 13.9 seconds remaining in regulation as the Sacred Heart Pioneers (1-2-0, 0-0-0 AHA) defeated the No. 12\/15 Boston University Terriers (1-2-0, 1-1-0 HE) 3-2 at Agganis Arena on Friday.<\/p>\n

“It’s obviously a really frustrating ending, losing late and how we lost it,” BU head coach Albie O’Connell said. “I liked our competitive spirit. I liked how hard we played.”<\/p>\n

The win marked the first of the season for SHU. Senior forward Austin Magera had a goal and an assist for the Pioneers, and junior goaltender Justin Robbins made 23 saves.<\/p>\n

BU has now dropped two games in a row. Terrier junior defenseman Dom Fensore had a goal and an assist. Sophomore goaltender Drew Commesso made 31 saves.<\/p>\n

The Terriers were most notably without senior captain Logan Cockerill and junior forward Jay O’Brien, in addition to junior defenseman Case McCarthy and senior defenseman Joseph Campolieto. Sophomore forward Luke Tuch exited the game early with an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\n

“We got some guys out right now, but we’re not here to make excuses,” O’Connell said. “Tuch got dinged up in the game. I haven’t heard a final [evaluation] on that.”<\/p>\n

Neither team scored in the first period. SHU outshout the Terriers 11-7 after the first 20 minutes, thanks largely to three power plays, including a five-minute major and game misconduct for hitting from behind on BU junior forward Markus Boguslavsky.<\/p>\n

“[In the] first period we kind of shot ourselves in the foot, taking penalties,” O’Connell said.”We got a little gassed.”<\/p>\n

Fensore scored to break the scoreless tie at 4:30 of the second. Junior forward Wilmer Skoog found Fensore in the high slot, and he rifled a shot top shelf.<\/p>\n
