Seven Terriers scored a goal, with freshman forward Ryan Greene taking home two goals in his college debut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI can\u2019t say enough how the freshmen showed up tonight,\u201d head coach Jay Pandolfo said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been like that since day one when practice started, so it\u2019s fun to see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greene wasn\u2019t the only freshman to put up multiple points. Forward Jeremy Wilmer, forward Quinn Hutson, defenseman Lane Hutson, and forward Devin Kaplan joined Greene as freshmen to appear on the scoresheet more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really important for those guys to have confidence right off the hop,\u201d Pandolfo said. \u201cWe have three guys playing together on a freshman line, and then the power play unit has four freshmen on it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terriers came out firing in the first period. Quinn Hutson put BU on the board at 2:34, finding the back of the net from in tight with assists from fellow freshman Jeremy Wilmer and sophomore Ty Gallagher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s go back to the first, when Quinn Hutson notched his first collegiate goal just 2:34 into the game!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoBU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoBU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q0AQewr3TN\">pic.twitter.com\/q0AQewr3TN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; BU Men&#39;s Hockey (@TerrierHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TerrierHockey\/status\/1576399063389347840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe players were ready to play,\u201d Pandolfo said. \u201cThat was one of our focuses this year, is to start on time. That\u2019s important for us and I think we did that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next to score was senior forward Matt Brown on an odd man rush with a wrister hitting the top shelf to make it 2-0 at 3:58 in the first. Junior forward Dylan Peterson and senior defenseman Case McCarthy were the assists on Brown\u2019s goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greene increased the Terrier\u2019s lead by two, first with a power play goal assisted by freshmen Devin Kaplan and Lane Hutson at 6:55 and then with a backhand shot to the top shelf assisted by freshmen Quinn Hutson and Jeremy Wilmer making it 4-0 at 14:08.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been playing together basically the whole time leading up to this, so I think practice obviously helps, you develop some chemistry there,\u201d Greene said after the game. \u201cObviously playing with those two guys there such smart hockey player, they make it super easy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bentley\u2019s junior defenseman Nick Bochen opened the scoring for the Falcons with just under a minute left in the first period, notching his first goal as a Falcon. The assist came from freshman forward Ryan Upson and sophomore forward Harrison Scott to make it 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU saw their third freshman score to re-acquire their four-goal lead, as forward Jeremy Wilmer scored his first career goal, giving BU a 5-1 lead at 4:54 of the middle frame. While on the power play, Greene passed it to Wilmer, who was wide open for the top-shelf wrist shot. Lane Hutson also notched an assist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019ve been practicing together as a unit for a couple of weeks now,\u201d Pandolfo said. \u201cThey\u2019re scoring goals in practice on a regular basis so we weren\u2019t gonna mess around with that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bentley responded with a goal of its own at 16:47 in the second period. Sophomore Harrison Scott found the back of the net to take it back to a three-goal deficit with the assist from junior Nick Bochen and junior forward Cole Kodsi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU answered about a minute later, with junior forward Luke Tuch completed a nice passing play at 4v4. Ready at the right circle, Tuch was assisted by Lane Hutson and senior forward Jay O\u2019Brien.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ok&#8230; time to show you some goals.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s the most recent one, scored by Tuch.<\/p>\n<p>Watch on ESPN+: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9PLDlvOMxq\">https:\/\/t.co\/9PLDlvOMxq<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ESPN<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hockey_east?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hockey_east<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/48JwYL67Fu\">pic.twitter.com\/48JwYL67Fu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; BU Men&#39;s Hockey (@TerrierHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TerrierHockey\/status\/1576376819283918853?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2022<\/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;\">\u201cTuch came off the bench and OB kind of drifted and dropped it off to me,\u201d Lane Hutson noted after the game. \u201cThen I saw the play developing a little bit and then Tuch slid to the right spot, so I snapped it off straight to him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third period opened with yet another freshman finding the back of the net. Senior captain Domenick Fensore found Kaplan at the front of the net to put BU up 7-2 with Luke Tuch claiming the other assist point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior forward Sam Stevens finalized the score at 8-2 just 3:52 into the third period.
