Northeastern 5 at Boston University 4 - Northeastern wins series, two games to one
BOSTON, MA - Northeastern netminder Chris Rawlings was pulled just six shots into Friday’s 5-2 loss to the Terriers. In the series’ deciding game, he stayed on the ice for the entire game, and helped fend off a late Terrier charge to send BU packing and the Huskies on to the Hockey East semi-finals.
Visiting Northeastern got two goals from Brodie Reid, and Steve Silva, Wade MacLeod and Cody Ferriero also tallied for the Huskies, who needed every goal they got as BU mounted a late charge, scoring twice in the final 1:22 to make it a game.
The third period featured six goals, three of which were scored on the power play and one by MacLeod with an empty net. Matt Nieto, Alex Chiasson, Justin Courtnall and Wade Megan scored for BU, but Rawlings made 31 saves to earn the win.
Northeastern’s power play went 2-for-6, while BU was 3-for-6 with the man advantage.
Things got chippy in the postgame handshake line, and Northeastern’s team had to be escorted off the ice before they could reconcile their differences with BU, who they’d played their last five games against.
With the win, Northeastern will face Boston College in a rematch of the Beanpot championship Friday night at TD Garden in the 5 PM game. UNH and Merrimack will face off at 8.
Northeastern will head to the Hockey East semi-finals for the second time in three years, and will go as the only team needing wins to be ensured a berth in the NCAA tournament.
