Ryan Greene doubled the lead 1:05 later with a snipe from the left circle, but RIT was able to get one back late in the first as Elijah Gonsalves roofed one on a power play.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Stevens made it a two-goal game with a goal from the right faceoff dot, but the Tigers answered for the second time as Gianfranco Cassaro scored on a low wrist shot. Needing another goal to take control, Hobey Baker top-10 finalist Celebrini provided that necessary tally as he helped finish a beautiful passing sequence between himself, Dylan Peterson and Nick Zabaneh with his 32nd goal of the season, making it 4-2 after 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Outstanding work by Petey and Zabs leads to Mack&#39;s 32nd goal of the season!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa: ESPNU<br \/>\ud83d\udcbb: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m821oi6jTq\">https:\/\/t.co\/m821oi6jTq<\/a> (ESPN+) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fCL31jSCby\">pic.twitter.com\/fCL31jSCby<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; BU Men&#39;s Hockey (@TerrierHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TerrierHockey\/status\/1773480455817326711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great rush; we had a good breakout,\u201d Celebrini said. \u201cGreat passing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jack Harvey added to the lead with an early third-period backhand goal, and Peterson capped the team\u2019s scoring with an empty-net goal with just over four minutes to go.
