Gallery: Women’s Hockey shutout by Minnesota in season opener

The Boston University women’s hockey team opened their season with a 5-0 loss against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Terriers started the game with good offense but after conceding a goal in the first period, they could not seem to find their footing. Another goal in the second period by the Gophers, followed by three in the third period, left the Terriers trailing by five goals. Despite the loss, the team has many positives to carry into the season and lessons to learn from.
