COACH'S QUOTE
"I thought our team played really well tonight and it was an entertaining college hockey game," said head coach Kevin Sneddon. "Great atmosphere in the building by our fans. We just have to keep getting after it; believe things will turn our way."

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Derek Lodermeier scored his fourth goal of the season to put the Cats ahead at 8:41 of the first period. Alex Esposito hit Lodermeier with a long saucer pass for a semi-breakaway and the captain roofed a shot over Ashton Abel's blocker.
• Boston University freshman Case McCarthy evened the score at 1-1 at 5:17 of the second period. McCarthy sped down the right boards in the Catamount zone and fired an off-angle shot to beat Stefanos Lekkas.
• BU's Gabriel Chabot put the Terriers ahead 2-1 at 1:40 of the third period. Vermont challenged the call on the ice, citing a high stick prior to the goal, however, a review confirmed the call on the ice.
• Christian Evers scored his sixth goal of the season to draw even with the Terriers just 59 seconds after Chabot's tally. Evers wired a wrist shot from the top of the left circle under Abel's left pad. Andrew Lucas and Ace Cowans assisted on the goal.
• Zegras scored his eighth goal of the season on the power play at 16:25 of the third to give the Terriers a 3-2 lead. He received a pass at the left dot and snuck a shot past a defenseman and Lekkas.
• BU captain Patrick Curry made it 4-2 with an empty net goal with 54 seconds remaining.
