These #s were reported in the Providence Journal but seem high to me. The number of saves reported were so obviously incorrect I have not included them here. Friends of Friars Hockey Stars of the Game 1. Drury - BU 2. O'Sullivan - BU 3. Herlofsky - BU Notes: This one was obviously put to bed early by BU's overwhelming advantage in talent, speed and size, combined with Herlofsky being sharp on those few occasions when he was tested. PC continued to suffer from defensive breakdowns but at other times was just overmatched. By the time BU was up 3-0, my count of shots on goal was BU 4, PC 3. PC's were quality shots, not just dump ins that happened to go through the crease, but BU made their goals look easy. The second period was really wide open and evenly played for the first 10 minutes. Jackie Parker is quoted in the morning paper as saying that he was especially gratified by his team's play in the second because it is so easy to get selfish with the big lead but they play continued to play smart. Trying to find something positive for PC to take away from this, I think Pooley can be pleased that the Friars would not let themselves be intimidated. I thought BU was trying to tatoo this one in the Friars' memory by their physical play, especially late in the game. But PC showed pride while they took their whipping. Several players who are not usually at all physical did not back down and actually stepped up their willingness to use their body despite BU's superior size. -- Bill Schneller
