The Boston University Terriers (3-0-2, 3-0-2 <\/span>HE) dropped a 5-4 decision against the Merrimack College Warriors (0-5-1, 0-1-1) at Walter Brown Arena on Friday night. The game will go into the standings as a 4-4 tie, but the Warriors emerged victorious in a seven-round shootout. <\/span><\/p>\n

The game certainly felt like a loss for the Terriers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot overly excited about the way we came out of the gate,\u201d BU head coach Brian Durocher said after the game.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe can\u2019t be learning lessons too many nights here.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe should know how to play. I think we\u2019re coached well enough, and I think we have enough leaders. We just need to execute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BU\u2019s execution was notably poor to start the game, as the Terriers struggled to break the puck out of their end, and much to the surprise of the home crowd, let Merrimack spend the majority of the first ten minutes of the game in the BU zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 11:32 to go in the first period, the Warriors broke through and got on the board first. Merrimack sophomore defenseman Raice Szott ripped a shot from the right point, which BU goaltender Kate Stuart kicked aside. The rebound squirted out toward junior forward Kate Kaufman, who dove to knock in the loose puck.<\/span><\/p>\n
