...took some staunch play by the Crimson to tie the score, but Higginbottom followed up Fischer's 30-foot slap shot to close the gap at 8:19. With two B.U. players sharing the penalty box for seven-men-on-the-ice and elbow infractions at the 13-minute mark, the varsity pressed play at the Terrier end of the rink...
