When asked to pinpoint a turning point in the game, BU coach Jack Parker admitted: “The fact, maybe, that we didn’t score a few early on when we had real good chances and good time in their zone.”

Grumet-Morris finished the night with 30 saves, adding 11 in the second and nine in the final frame.

Seven games into the season, he boasts a .923 save percentage, and besides a wild, 8-6 win over Princeton, the senior has allowed an average of just 1.67 goals per game.

“It’s hard to start any conversation [about] any of our wins when you don’t talk about Dov Grumet-Morris,” said Crimson coach Ted Donato ’91, “because he’s been stellar for us all year.

“It’s nice and reassuring for a coach to know that you’re going to get a great effort in the net.”

And save one brief instant late in the first period last night, Grumet-Morris was unforgiving. He smothered every shot that sailed through the air, and he guarded the crease unflinchingly with his pads, oftentimes blocking several stabbing attempts within a matter of seconds but never taking his eyes off the puck.

“I thought their goalie played very well,” Parker said of the effort, “hence the low-scoring game.

“You’re not going to win with one goal.”
