With the Terriers caught out of position, Cavanagh pushed on net to draw the defense, then slid the puck diagonally across the crease onto freshman Mike Taylor’s tape at the far post. Curry had no play on the Maple Grove, Minn., native’s one-timer—Taylor’s first collegiate goal and the eventual game-winning score—at 3:51, just 31 seconds after Pelle’s tally...
