Junior attackman Jackson Reid added two goals, including the game’s opening score.

After a close first quarter, the four-goal run in the second gave the Buckeyes a 6-2 halftime lead.?

Another four-goal stretch in the third quarter put the game out of reach.?

Leading the way for the Terriers was junior midfielder Sean Christman, who went 15-for-18 on faceoffs and added an assist. Each of the four goals scored by the Terriers came from a different player.

Boston senior goalie Joe McSorley made eight saves in the game.
