ST. PAUL, Minn. — As the NCAA tournament whittles down to the last team standing, every game becomes harder to win.<\/p>\n

That was the case Thursday for Boston University, which started strong against Denver but ultimately couldn\u2019t find the knockout punch it needed. The Pioneers slowly wrestled momentum away from the Terriers and ultimately prevailed 2-1 in overtime to advance to the national championship game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe margin of error in these one-and-dones is very slim,\u201d BU coach Jay Pandolfo said. \u201cWe made some mistakes that cost us, and there’s no tomorrow for us. So it’s a tough tournament. It\u2019s a very tough tournament to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Terriers controlled play in the opening period and were rewarded at 7:45 when senior Luke Tuch won a race for the puck and converted for a short-handed goal to put the Terriers up 1-0.<\/p>\n

BU outshot Denver 10-3 in the first period and carried that momentum into the second before a giveaway behind the Terriers net resulted in Tristan Lemyre\u2019s second goal of the season to even things up.<\/p>\n

Denver gained momentum after that goal and had several grade-A opportunities thwarted by BU net minder Mathieu Caron, but Tristan Broz\u2019s game-winner 11:09 into overtime ended the Terriers’ season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the first period we played very well,\u201d said Pandolfo. \u201c(Through) the first 12 minutes of the second period, I think, they may have had five or six shots. And I thought we shot ourselves in the foot a little bit by not continuing to play behind them. They got a little bit of momentum and then they found a way to score a goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c(Early in the game), (BU) was winning all the 50\/50 races to the walls,\u201d Denver coach David Carle said. \u201cI thought in the second period we started to win some of those. When you win the first one, it’s easier to win the second and third one in the offensive zone, and that led to some of our possession time that we were able to generate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Terriers\u2019 chances 5-on-5 dwindled as the game went on, and BU\u2019s potent power play never had a chance. Denver had four power plays to none for BU.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The lack of power plays) is not the reason we lost the game,\u201d said Pandolfo. \u201cWe have to find ways to put teams away 5-on-5, and we didn’t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the second season in a row, Boston University\u2019s season ended one win away from the title game. Failure to put the Pioneers away early proved costly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s the difference in games like this,\u201d said Pandolfo. \u201cYou don’t have another opportunity. Of course, do you need a little bit of puck luck and bounces here and there? Of course you do, but you’ve got to create that, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn’t create enough of that tonight after the way we played the first half of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
