Vladislav Firstov scored his third goal of the season five minutes in to give UConn a 1-0 lead. For a while, it looked like that would be the game-winner.
“I thought our team played really well for 55 minutes,” head coach Mike Cavanaugh said postgame.
Despite a strong performance from UConn goaltender Darion Hanson, BU finally got on the board with 5:40 to play in the third period.
