• No. 20 Terriers Outlast Harvard, 4-1 (goterriers.com) — A men’s college hockey matchup in Cambridge saw Boston University rally past Harvard 4–1 on Monday night, flipping a 1–0 deficit with two second-period goals and adding a pair of late empty-netters. Harvard’s home-ice effort at Bright-Landry was backed by 29 saves from goalie Ben Charette, but BU’s depth scoring and steady goaltending ultimately controlled the game.
