You don’t realize how good a team can really be until they face adversity, especially on the road. Down 3-0 BU came storming back to score six unanswered goals to beat UMass 6-3. Like any great team when you are down and being completely outplayed, you look to your strengths. For BU their strengths have been their power play and their veteran senior players. Last night, BU’s iron man Matt Gilroy and sniper Jason Lawrence stepped forward after Coach Jack Parker sent a message to the team by replacing goalie Kieran Millan with Grant Rollheiser. Down 3-0, with the fourth goal either making or breaking the game, Gillroy put the team on his back and scored two consecutive power play goals, getting BU back into the game. Not to be outdone, Jason Lawrence then took it from there, with a natural hat trick, scoring the next three BU goals. David Warsofsky finished the night off with the sixth goal.
BU will complete their home and home series with UMass tonight at Agganis arena.
