 Cohens lead the way
Late in the first period the Terriers grabbed the lead on the power play. The goal was scored by Zach Cohen his first of the year, on a bad play by Michigan goalie Ben Hogan. Hogan tried to bank the puck of the glass to get the puck out of the zone. The puck took an odd bounce, on to Cohen's stick and bang 1-0 Terriers. that is the first time the terriers have had a led this regular season.

“He played the one puck off the glass, which a goalie should never play. If the puck’s coming around the board you might play it, but not the glass. He played the first one off the glass, it took a bad bounce, and bang, it’s in our net.” Red Berenson Michigan head coach

 The Terriers doubled their lead at 12:59 of the second period on a Bomb By Terrier D-man Colby Cohen (no relation to Zach Cohen the other Terrier goal scorer).

Less than four minutes latter Michigan tied it when Matt Rust raced in on Millan and went to his back hand and roofed it top shelf over Millan's blocker.

Heres Joey 
At the end of a typical Joe Pereira shift, digging pucks out of the conner, starting a brake out, scrapping around the net, the puck was dumped in to the Michigan zone by Bu Freshman Ryan Santana. Pereira, being the type of player he is when and  re-gained the puck in the fare conner. Michigan goalie Ben Hogan went behind his net to try to play it to his team mate. Joey lifted Hogan's stick up and raped the puck in to the vacant Michigan. Final score Boston University 3, The University of Michigan 2.

“It was actually the end of our shift, Ryan Santana had the puck, and he saw me shooting down. He dumped it in the far corner, and the goalie went out to play the puck. I jumped, and the puck was right there. Once I got control of the puck, I knew that if I took it to the net as fast as I could it would be a good chance. I just stuffed it hard.”Joe Pereira comments on his game wining goal.
