Last weekend was a rough one for Terrier hockey, with a third period comeback win and hard fought loss to the University of Michigan Wolverines. Coach David Quinn went so far to say that the team took a step back from the progress they\u2019ve made over the last three weekends.<\/p>\n
Luckily for Quinn and the team, BU had a chance in a short week to find their identity, as the offense clicked into gear and the Terriers came away with a 3-0 victory over the Bentley Falcons.<\/p>\n
BU got the scoring started early, as Danny O\u2019Regan took a long lob pass from linemate Ahti Oksanen, skated in alone and lifted a backhander over Bentley goalie Gabe Antoni to put the Terriers up 1-0. The offensive zone time for the Terriers was astounding in the first period, leading in shots by margin of 15-3.<\/p>\n
The production from Boston University didn\u2019t let up in the second either and they got key chances to put themselves on the board.<\/p>\n
Bentley took three penalties in the second period; Max French went off for hooking, Alexey Solovyev skated to the box for cross checking, and Michael Reardon sat for two minutes for hooking.<\/p>\n
On that last hooking call, the Terriers took advantage. Freshman Jordan Greenway, standing at 6-foot-5, screened Antoni, letting defenseman Doyle Somerby send a wrist-shot from the point to give BU a 2-0 lead. The goal was Doyle Somerby\u2019s third goal of the season, his second in three games after tallying the game winner on Friday against Michigan.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m pretty surprised that I walked that puck in from across the net,\u201d Somerby said. \u201cBut it\u2019s kind of a testament to how we\u2019re playing as a team. You don’t score a lot from the point without the net-front presence that we\u2019ve having.\u201d<\/p>\n
Early in the third period, freshman producer Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson took a backhand drop from the senior O\u2019Regan and fired a snap shot high over the glove of Antoni to increase the Terrier lead to 3-0.<\/p>\n
The Terrier penalty kill came up big in the third period, as Brandon Hickey went to the box for slashing, Jordan Greenway joining him for a hooking minor 23 seconds later. The Scarlet and White killed off the subsequent 5-on-3, O\u2019Regan and Somerby making big blocks in front of BU\u2019s starting senior goalie Sean Maguire, stifling Bentley’s 25.7% power play.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuge kill, 5-on-3, I thought they did a great job,\u201d Coach Quinn said.<\/p>\n
Sean Maguire made all 15 saves in the shutout victory, his first shutout since he had back-to-back ones on March 9th and 15th, 2013 vs Northeastern and Merrimack, respectively.<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s not an easy game to play,” said Quinn. “He looked good. A few times he was tested, he made an unbelievable save using the stick, reaching back.<\/p>\n
\u201cA really good win for us. After a quick turnaround and losing a game in the fashion we did on Saturday, to bounce back and play with a lot more energy, I think with a lot more passion and pace, really proud of our guys.<\/p>\n
The team next skates for Red Hot Hockey vs. the Cornell Big Red on Saturday at 8 p.m. in Madison Square Garden. The game can be watched on ESPN3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
