BU Upends BC, 7-4

Boston College took an early 2-0 lead and Ron Greco finished with two goals on the night for the Eagles, but two three-goal outbursts by the visiting Terriers led Boston University to a 7-4 victory at BC's Conte Forum on Friday night.

Shane Bowers had a goal and three points for BU (7-8-1 overall, 5-4-1 Hockey East), which led 3-2 after one period and 6-4 after two. Patrick Harper also set up four goals for the Terriers in the latest iteration of the Green Line Rivalry, also known as the Battle of Commonwealth Avenue, as BU outshot BC, 35-33.

The Eagles (8-6-2, 8-2-0), who last lost in late October, also saw their eight-game unbeaten streak snapped. The rematch is scheduled for Saturday night at BU's Agganis Arena.

ADDENDUM: BC won the rematch, 4-1, after again taking a 2-0 lead.
