THE RUNDOWN

Final Score: #5 Boston University 5, Massachusetts 3
Records: BU (12-5-2, 5-2-2 Hockey East), Massachusetts (5-15-2, 2-8-1 Hockey East)
Location: Fenway Park - Boston, Mass.

HOW IT HAPPENED

- After scoring the game-tying and overtime tallies in Thursday's win over No. 10 Union, Forsbacka Karlsson picked up where he left off, scoring the lone goal of the opening period before pushing the lead to 2-0 midway through the second.

- Fellow sophomore Charlie McAvoy converted on a power play at 13:52 of the middle stanza to push the lead to 3-0.

- UMass would get on the board before the end of the second, however, as Griff Jeszka's shot from below the goal line went off BU netiminder Jake Oettinger and in with 3:05 left in the period.

- A shorthanded goal by Ray Pigozzi cut the Terriers' lead to 5-3 at 8:21 of the third, but that's as close as the Minutemen would get as freshmen Chad Krys and Gabriel Chabot scored 48 seconds apart to regain a three-goal edge at 5-2.

- Steven Iacobellis created the 5-3 final with a goal in the final minute of regulation.
