Overtime in Boston

Hockey
Joe Meloni

BOSTON – Three of Boston College’s four goals in regulation were reviewed by the officials. The last of which tied the game at 4-4. Boston College’s Dan Bertram skated through the slot when a Nick Petrecki feed deflected off his foot and past New Hampshire goaltender Kevin Regan.

UNH led BC 2-0 after the first period, but the Eagles won the second and third periods to send the game to overtime. Last season, UNH defeated Massachusetts, 3-2, in double-overtime in a semifinal game.

In that game, then-freshman Bobby Butler scored the winner for the Wildcats; Butler has two goals this afternoon.

Despite the four goals allowed, Regan is proving to everyone in attendance that he deserved the Hockey East Player of the Year award he won earlier this week with 43 saves.

The Eagles have the momentum entering the extra session with three unanswered goals and a multitude of chances toward the end of the third.
