The Terriers took a 2-1 lead after one period as Shawn McEachern scored twice, both assisted by Dave Sacco and Mike Kelfer, around Todd Brost’s score for the Wolverines. Michigan’s Mike Moes tied it up early in the second period before Kelfer and Joe Sacco scored 25 seconds apart in the middle of the period to give BU the lead for good.
