The Terriers tied with No.8 University of Massachusetts Minutemen (6-2-1, 4-0-1 HE) 2-2, before coming up short in the shootout. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU had possession of the puck for most of the game, outshooting the Minutemen 33-25, but UMass was there to claim the extra point.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was really pleased with our roster, our boys, how we managed the puck, and we played like men tonight,\u201d BU head coach Albie O\u2019Connell said in the post-game press conference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU had control of the ice in the first period until freshman forward Tyler Boucher entered the penalty box off a high stick call. Just 26 seconds into the power play, UMass opened the scoring. It was senior Reed Lebster who claimed his third goal of the season at 14:44, assisted by Bobby Trivigno and Ryan Ufko.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick to react, BU junior defensemen Case McCarthy fired a wrist shot in from the slot to open the scoring for BU at 16:02. It was McCarthy\u2019s third goal in the last four games, tying teammate Domenick Fensore in third for total points (seven). The goal was assisted by Dylan Peterson and Jamie Armstrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here&#39;s a look at Mac&#39;s strike that got us on the board late in the first period. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r0AIEqIPtA\">pic.twitter.com\/r0AIEqIPtA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; BU Men&#39;s Hockey (@TerrierHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TerrierHockey\/status\/1459334952332443653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After McCarthy\u2019s goal, there was just under four minutes left in the first, however, it didn\u2019t take long for the Minutemen to reply.
