GRAND FORKS, N.D.—Alexx Privitera said he did not know why the University of North Dakota student section heartily booed him during Saturday night’s game, but by the end of it he certainly gave the fans reason.
The sophomore defenseman assisted freshman forward Matt Lane’s game-winning goal — the first tally of Lane’s NCAA career — with 1:50 left in the third period to help the No. 12 Boston University men’s hockey team to a 4–2 win over No. 5/6 UND.
“That’s 120 minutes of hard effort,” Privitera said of the series split at Ralph Engelstad Arena, which started with a 4–2 loss Friday night. “We played real hard all weekend, got great goaltending in both games. Grinded it out and it worked out for us. We were a better team the second game, bar none, and the score depicted that.”
BU (4–2, 3–1 Hockey East) followed up Lane’s goal with an insurance tally from freshman forward Danny O’Regan 11 seconds later. The goal sent the Terriers home a happy bunch after a few days in the Midwest.
