DURHAM, N.H. – Coming off a pair of 3-2 losses to No. 13 Merrimack College and No. 3 Boston College, the No. 15 Boston University men’s hockey team was in desperate need of a win heading into Saturday night’s contest at No. 7 University of New Hampshire.
The Terriers got just what they needed, beating the Wildcats 2-1.
Junior goalie Kieran Millan led the way with a spectacular 38-save performance, while freshman center Charlie Coyle and sophomore winger Ross Gaudet each netted goals in the second period.
“I think you can’t underestimate how much we needed two points tonight, whether it was home or away,” BU coach Jack Parker said after the game. “If we were playing the Little Sisters of the Poor, we needed to get two points. The fact that we played UNH and beat them up here is even nicer. It gives us some momentum and makes us feel better about staying in the hunt for home ice.”
