NORTH ANDOVER — The Scarlet and White put up a fight, but in the end, two third-period goals weren’t enough to lift the No. 15 Boston University men’s hockey team over No. 13/14 Merrimack College last night. The Warriors skated away with a 3-2 victory.
“I don’t think either one of us played up to our capabilities,” BU coach Jack Parker said. “It was a decent hockey game for us, but it wasn’t the type of effort we need if we’re going to beat good teams.”
The Warriors (13-4-4, 7-4-3 Hockey East) netted the game’s first three goals, starting with a tally three minutes into the game. All night long, Merrimack outnumbered the Terriers at the BU (10-6-6, 7-4-4 HE) net, and the first tally was no exception. Junior defenseman Karl Stollery wristed a shot from the left point directly into a screen set by classmate Jeff Velleca directly off a four-on-four faceoff.
