Colby Cohen and Zach Cohen — two unrelated members of Boston University’s ice hockey team — made crucial plays to give the school its fifth NCAA championship.
With one minute left to play in regulation and the BU Terriers trailing Miami University (Ohio) 3-1, Zach Cohen, a junior forward, fired a shot to bring his team to within one. Forward Nick Bonino tied the score at 3-3 with just 18 seconds to go.
According to HockeyEastOnline.com, Colby Cohen, a 6′3″, 230 pound sophomore defenseman from Villanova, PA,
then capped off the rally and ended the first overtime game in the NCAA title contest since 2002 at the 11:47 mark of the extra session. The Terriers cycled the puck in their own offensive end and Cohen let go of a blast from the blue line. The puck was deflected by a sliding RedHawk defender into the net …, setting off a wild BU celebration.
Colby Cohen played in 43 games for the Terriers this season, scoring eight goals with 24 assists. Zach Cohen — a 6′3″, 215 pounder from Schaumburg, Ill. — was good for 13 goals with five assists in 41 contests, helping BU enjoy its best season with a 35-6-4 record.
Thanks to loyal reader Jeff Flaum for the heads-up on this one.
