LOWELL – Sixteen seconds and a Corey Trivino goal into the game on Saturday at the Tsongas Center, it looked like the No. 12 Boston University men’s hockey team would be preying on University of Massachusetts-Lowell all night.

But two hours and a touchdown’s worth of unanswered goals later, it was the River Hawks (3-3-0, 1-2-0 Hockey East) that were picking at the remains of the Terriers (3-3-1, 2-2-1 Hockey East), beating them by a final score of 7-1.

The loss was so bad – it was the worst since an 8-2 loss to Providence College in March 1999 – that BU coach Jack Parker made quick work of his 19-second post-game press conference.

“Horrible game by us from start to finish,” said BU coach Jack Parker. “We got a goal right off the bat and then we look like we don’t care. I’m impressed with how hard Lowell played, but they played against a team that was playing pond hockey tonight. We’re out there cruising around like shinny in September. Horrible game. Not one guy played well.”
