BU rolls into Beanpot

Ross Guadet's 2 goals propelled BU to a
6-2 win 

 Bonino hits 100 points


Coming from coach Parker, BU had a good week of practice and very good attitude. The week ended with an "unbelievably great" practice on friday and a great win over #15 Umass.

Sophomore, Ross Gaudet, missed his whole freshman year. But this year he has been all over the score sheet and last night was no exception. Gaudet scored the first goal of the game with about three minutes to go in the first. Nick Bonino from his knees found Eric Gryba at the point. Gryba one timed the pass,  Umass goalie Paul Dainton stopped but the puck found Gaudet's stick and the he found the back of the net with the puck.

The last five minutes of the second saw the light get lit four times (3 by BU and 1 by Umass). The first came when, Nick Bonino won a faceoff back to Gaudet who the hit both post and the cross-bar with his shot. The puck some how crossed the goal line and BU had a 2-0 lead. A minute later Max Nicastro found Colby Cohen for a one timer. Cohen drilled it past Dainton.

Umass would get one back 36 seconds later, when Brain Keane jammed home a rebound from Justin Braun shot.

66 seconds later BU scored what parker called, the biggest goal of the game. Colby Cohen had the puck at the point and then threaded the needle [with a pass] to Vinny Saponari. Saponari got it on the left post and shoved it in to the net.

In the third, Umass would score their final goal when Martin Nolet jammed home a rebound.

The game was over after David Warsofsky set up Nicastro for a slapper through traffic. Dainton never saw it, and BU had a 5-2 lead.

With less than a minute left BU scored a short handed goal to make it 6-2. Give Luke Popko credit for the goal and the assist goes to Nick Bonino who on this play locked up his 100th point as a Terrier

It might not seam like it, but BU goaltender Kieran Millan did in fact face a lot of shots. Millan made 39 saves on 41 shots. Parker said after the game: "We gave up a lot of shots but not a lot of grade ‘A’ shots.”


Bu will play Northeastern next in the Beanpot semi-final, monday night. Game time 8:00 (following the first game BC and Harvard)
