The Terriers found the back of the net after going 101:37 without a goal, but one score wasn’t enough to pull out a win.
No. 3 Boston University (9-3-2) and No. 18 Merrimack (10-4-2) settled for a 1-1 tie Friday at Lawler Rink. It took an entire period before either team could muster up a goal.
The Warriors struck first when freshman forward Brett Seney scored on Terriers goaltender Matt O’Connor’s high glove side just 1:07 into the second frame. It wasn’t until 1:37 into the third period that junior forward Matt Lane scored the equalizer for BU.
But neither Merrimack nor BU could get anything going in overtime. Both offenses were quiet, as the Terriers went 0-for-6 on the power play and the Warriors went 0-for-7 with the man advantage. It was a battle between goalies, with O’Connor and Merrimack’s Collin Delia recording 26 and 21 saves, respectively.
BU and Merrimack will meet again Saturday, this time at Agganis Arena in a 7 p.m. matchup.
