CURRY

His
Statistics: 2 GP, 56 saves, 3 GA
His
Impact: The Terriers stood at a crossroads.
BU had given up a total of 10 goals in back-to-back
losses to Rensselaer and UMass Lowell. Vermont and Maine
– both rated among the nation's top six teams
– loomed on the horizon. Enter Curry, college
hockey's Kurt Warner who burst out of nowhere last season
to post an 18-11-3 record and a 1.97 GAA. He got a little
help from his friends against the Catamounts –
Curry faced just 21 shots in BU's 4-2 win. In the Terriers'
triumph over the Black Bears in Orono, however, Curry
was the difference. He made 37 saves, 19 of them in
the third period as BU clung to a 2-1 lead.
