CHESTNUT HILL — For a fleeting moment, it felt like the Boston University men’s hockey team had a chance in the second game of what could only be described as a stinker of a weekend. Senior captain Joe Pereira had just scored 5:26 into the second period to end a streak of three Boston College goals and close the lead to 3-2. There was plenty of time for the Terriers to close the lead and potentially take a point out of a weekend that began with a horrid showing in a 9-5 loss to the team’s hated rivals.
But just like that, all hope was lost, and two egregious errors were the culprit.
An offensive collision between freshman defenseman Max Nicastro and junior defenseman David Warsofsky and a separate turnover by freshman defenseman Garrett Noonan – both occurring in the BU offensive zone – led to the two breakaway goals that sealed the Terriers’ fate and put an end to a weekend in which the Eagles doubled up their canine counterparts 14-7.
