The Boston University women’s ice hockey team officially opened its inaugural season on Friday night against Northeastern at Matthews Arena. In an early Women’s Hockey East match-up, the Terriers dropped a close game by a 4-3 decision. BU had a number of solid chances late in the game but could not get the equalizer. Although it was a tough loss, the back-and-forth game proved that the Terriers should be competitive against teams of Northeastern’s caliber.<\/p>\n

“It was a solid game,” said BU Head Coach Brian Durocher. “We played with a lot of energy and heart. It was very positive. “We played an even game against an established team. We had chances at the end; we just couldn’t get that last bounce.”<\/p>\n

BU got on the board first at 11:32 in the first period when Caroline Bourdeau picked up a loose puck from Maeghan Ouimet along the right boards, skated across the crease and put a backhand shot past Northeastern’s stand-out goalie, Marisa Hourihan. <\/p>\n

Northeastern responded at 18:02 when highly-touted freshman Ashley Bielawski took a loose puck from the neutral zone, skated in and put one by BU freshman goalie Allyse Wilcox.<\/p>\n

The Huskies added another goal six and a half minutes into the second period when Northeastern’s top scorer a year ago Amy Goodney took a pass from Nikki Petrich behind the net and scored on a wraparound. Northeastern went up 3-1 at 14:43 when Jessica Coppney scored after sending a centering pass from the back of the net for a deflection past Wilcox.<\/p>\n

The Terriers got a big lift when Genevieve Laing scored with 59 seconds remaining in the period, bringing the score to 3-2. Laing took the puck from Caitlin Reddy at center ice and skated past the defender and put a bullet over Hourihan’s right shoulder.<\/p>\n

The Huskies came right back in the third period when Crystal Rochon made it 4-2 at 5:28 in the period.<\/p>\n

BU stormed back when Gina Kearns stole a pass on the penalty kill and raced down the ice and beat the goalie five-hole. The Terriers had chances late in the game to tie but had to skate five on five with the goalie pulled when Erin Seman got a five minute major and game misconduct when she got called for hitting the goalie at 17:46 in the period. BU put pressure on and had some close shots, but could not put one in the net.<\/p>\n

The Terriers will look to build on the strong performance when they play their home opener on Tuesday, Oct. 11, against Quinnipiac at Walter Brown Arena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
