Two NCAA Division I men’s head coaches picked up their first collegiate coaching wins – Jay Pandolfo for Boston University and Josh Hauge for Union. And in non-exhibition NCAA games, all of the nationally-ranked teams held serve, even if it took overtime. That highlights the opening night of the Division I men’s college hockey season.<\/p>\n

The Terriers offense, led in large part by its freshman class, exploded for eight goals, including a two-goal, one-assist game from rookie Ryan Greene, as Boston University glided past Bentley, 8-2.<\/p>\n

The victory was coach Jay Pandolfo’s first as a collegiate head coach. Pandolfo served as an associate head coach last season after a long career as an assistant with the Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

Five of the eight goals by Boston University were scored by rookies, but the back end was supported by the experienced veteran Drew Commesso. The junior netminder and second-round draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks stopped 22 of the 24 shots he faced to earn the win.<\/p>\n

Tonight's No. 1 star – freshman Ryan Greene – pushed the lead to 4-0 with his first two goals as a Terrier!<\/p>\n
