The Lineup: UMass-Lowell at Boston University

BOSTON -- Good evening from Agganis Arena where the No. 13/15 Boston University Terriers (14-12-2, 11-7-2 Hockey East) welcome No. 12 UMass-Lowell (16-9-2, 10-8-2 HE) for a crucial league match-up and their second in as many meetings in Boston.

The River Hawks opened the season series between the clubs with a 4-3 win at Agganis on Jan. 19. After rookie Matt Lane scored the first goal five minutes in, the visitors scored four straight to outlast the Terriers.
