Third-seeded BU (21-12-2) led by a goal on two separate occasions, but sixth-seeded UMass (20-13-5) twice equalized, including with 8:43 remaining in regulation, to force overtime.
After freshman Mikhail Yegorov made the final of his 36 saves, freshman Sascha Boumedienne cleared the rebound off the crease and sent Eiserman on a 2-on-1 with senior Jack Hughes.
Eiserman skated into the left circle before ripping a shot under Michael Hrabal’s pads for his team-leading 21st goal.
Boumedienne scored his third season goal and joined Eiserman as Terriers with multiple points on Saturday. Sophomore co-captain Shane Lachance got BU on the board first with his 11th campaign goal, while Hughes, sophomore Tom Willander, and junior co-captain Ryan Greene each had a helper.
For Greene, that assist was the 100th point of his illustrious career.
