Northeastern celebrates its Hockey East semifinal win over BU Friday night (photo: Melissa Wade).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

BOSTON<\/b> — If teams haven\u2019t figured it out yet, Friday\u2019s semifinal between Northeastern and Boston University proved that you simply cannot give the Huskies life late in a game.<\/p>\n

Northeastern has scored 57 goals in the third period and overtime this season, and on Friday became the first team to defeat BU when trailing heading to the third period, advancing to the Hockey East final via a Zach Solow goal at 15:44 of overtime.<\/p>\n

Huskies coach Jim Madigan admits he would like to see more of those goals scored earlier in the game, but also understands his club has a believability that makes them difficult to beat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about it entering the third and I said, \u2018This is our period,\u2019\u201d said Madigan. \u201cWe\u2019ve excelled in this period so there\u2019s a confidence level, there\u2019s a comfort level entering the third period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe urgency meter goes up and awful lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solow, the game\u2019s hero, tied a Northeastern program record with his sixth game-winning goal of the season. It was also his second overtime game winner this season. A year ago as a freshman, he took a backseat to the likes of Adam Gaudette, Dylan Sikura and Nolan Stevens. That didn\u2019t mean that he wasn\u2019t spending every day learning from that trio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys from last year, they were really good players, really smart players,\u201d said Solow. \u201cOff the ice, they helped everyone, especially me. They helped me get acclimated to the college game. This season, I\u2019m just trying to shoot more and put myself in positions that they put themselves and just try to capitalize on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capitalize he did on Friday. As Boston University got caught at the end of an extended shift, Brendon Hawkins picked off a pass up the right wing wall and immediately fed the puck to Solow. With a lot of room to operate, Solow fired the puck top shelf past Jake Oettinger (42 saves) to send his team to Saturday\u2019s title game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fine line between winning and losing,\u201d said BU coach Albie O\u2019Connell, whose team\u2019s season ended on Friday with the loss. \u201cIt\u2019s a tough play at the end. [Northeastern] had one guy forechecking. We had three guys back and a goalie and we kind of rimmed the puck. That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re tired. You make mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston University looked to take a 1-0 lead with 2:03 remaining in the first as Logan Cockerill fired a shot through a screen. But video review showed that Bobo Carpenter made slight contact with goaltender Cayden Primeau\u2019s (29 saves) head as the puck was passing him and the officials disallowed the goal.<\/p>\n

Nearing the midway of the second as a power play ended, the Terriers finally did grab that lead as Ty Amonte poked home the rebound of David Farrance\u2019s shot.<\/p>\n

Northeastern took little time in the third proving that is their period. They evened the score as Matt Filipe\u2019s rush up the right wing generated a rebound that Tyler Madden fired home just 16 seconds into the frame.<\/p>\n

With 13:19 remaining, it appeared that Northeastern had taken the lead as Lincoln Griffin poked home the rebound of Brandon Hawkins shot. But again, video replay showed that Hawkins made contact with BU netminder Jake Oettinger, negating the goal.<\/p>\n

Each team had the opportunity to win the game late in regulation with power plays, but neither converted. Northeastern\u2019s Zach Solow had arguably the best shot, a 20-footer with 1:58 remaining that Oettinger saved.<\/p>\n

The win is the 26th of the season for Northeastern, a new program record. That\u2019s certainly a highlight that makes Madigan proud, but he is also very aware win No. 27 carries with it something special.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team just broke the all-time record for wins in a season with 26,\u201d said Madigan. \u201cSo I\u2019m thrilled to get that win. But the biggest win is 27 and we look forward to coming out here tomorrow night with the chance to battle again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
