Boston University had its back against the wall on several occasions, but Danny O’Regan finally saved the day.
The Terriers forward scored less than three minutes into double overtime to give his team a dramatic 4-3 win over Harvard in the Beanpot semifinals Tuesday night at TD Garden.
O’Regan was set up by forward Evan Rodrigues, who intercepted a Harvard pass in the offensive zone and found his linemate in front of the net for the game-winner.
That play might never have happened, however, if a Crimson scoring chance with 8:45 remaining in regulation was allowed by referees. The refs ruled “no goal” on the play, and neither side could break the deadlock before O’Regan did the honors.
BU will play Northeastern in the Beanpot final Feb. 9.
