BOSTON - Senior Jay O'Brien tallied a goal and an assist to help lead the No. 14 Boston University men's ice hockey team to a 5-1 win over No. 11/10 UMass on Saturday night at Agganis Arena.
BU (6-3-0, 4-2-0 HE) dominated UMass (5-5-1, 1-5-0 HE) in both games this weekend. The Terriers outscored the Minutemen, 12-3, across the two tilts and generated 45 shots on goal in each win, outshooting UMass, 90-53, in the sweep.
Freshman Ryan Greene scored his third goal of the weekend while senior Jamie Armstrong, senior Case McCarthy and junior Nick Zabaneh also lit the lamp. Seniors Wilmer Skoog and Matt Brown each secured two assists while sophomore Ty Gallagher, junior Luke Tuch, freshman Quinn Hutson, senior Ethan Phillips and freshman Devin Kaplan all added one assist apiece.
Junior goaltender Drew Commesso turned in his second strong performance of the weekend, stopping 29 of the 30 shots he faced.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Greene opened the scoring 9:18 into the proceedings. Cole Brady (32 saves) stopped Hutson's initial shot from the point, but the rebound popped out to Tuch, who dished it to Greene for the finish.
