BU Takes First Blood Against Lowell

Colby Freakin Cohen Scores ANOTHER Big OT Goal

Colby Cohen says he closed his eyes when the puck left his stick as he took the shot that sealed the National Championship for the Terriers.  I wonder if he kept his eyes open tonight.

Cohen scored the biggest goal of the young season with just over a minute left in OT to beat the #9 Riverhawks in Lowell.  The goal gave BU a 5-4 win on a night where the offense woke up in a big, big way.

Cohen is quickly (and amazingly) becoming a very solid two-way player for BU. (I honestly cannot believe that I just typed that sentence.  Please don't remind me that I wrote that if it turns out to be horribly, incredibly incorrect.)

Defenseman David Warsofsky scored two goals for the IceDogs, freshman stud Alex Chiasson tallied his third of the young season, and the new offensive star Zach Cohen put home his second of the year.

Kieran Millan saved 32 of the 36 shots he faced on the night.  He did, however, let up another game-tying goal late in the third period, with just over 4 minutes to play.

Millan was aided by a monster defensive effort by BU.  The Terriers allowed just 5 shots in the third and overtime combined.
