Midway through the first period, junior forward Nara Elia put the Terriers out front on a penalty kill to make it 1-0 BU.<\/p>\n<p>In the second, it was a pair of Terrier freshmen, Courtney Correia and Emma Wuthrich who each scored a goal for Terriers to close out the second leading 3-0. While that would be the end of the scoring for the Terriers, it was more than enough.<\/p>\n<p>Only in the third period did the Huskies get on the board on a goal by Freshman Danika Pasqua to make it 3-1 Terriers. That would be the final and the Terriers would earn their 19th win. Terrier goalie Corrine Schroeder was nearly perfect going 34\/35 in shots defended as the Terriers returned home to Walter Brown Arena to face the Friars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18213\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/files\/2019\/02\/img_6117-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6117\" width=\"4050\" height=\"2645\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This season, the Terriers had gone 2-0 in their first two meetings with the Friars and tried to sweep the season series at home. At the 7:33 mark in the first period, junior captain Natasza Tarnowski put the Terriers out front 1-0 with a penalty kill goal.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately in the second, the tides turned in favor the Friars after as senior forward Christina Putigna scored on a penalty kill just 2:30 in to tie the game up at 1-1. Ten minutes later, the Friars were at it again, this time it was junior defender Whitney Dove on an even 5-on-5 matchup to give Providence a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>There was some controversy late in the game as the Terriers had a chance to tie up the game on a call that was overturned to take the point away and keep the score at 2-1. Coach Brian Durocher said that &#8220;they couldn&#8217;t give me the answer&#8221; regarding who last made contact with the puck, a skater or the goalie, and later said that there &#8220;could have been a different answer&#8221; but that &#8220;these [refs] are professionals and we&#8217;re lucky to have them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18214\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/files\/2019\/02\/img_6248-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6248\" width=\"4050\" height=\"2709\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The game would remain scoreless for the final 28 minutes and the Friars would win 2-1, their first victory over BU this season. Despite the 2 goals allowed, Coach Durocher said that Schroeder &#8220;answered the bell and kept giving us a chance to take care of business,&#8221; and that she &#8220;is playing with confidence.&#8221; That&#8217;d just about sum up how good Schroeder has been for BU this season, averaging 1.85 goals allowed all season.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for the Terriers, the Women&#8217;s Hockey East playoffs, where they will play a best-of-3 series in the quarterfinal round against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats. Coach Durocher says the team will &#8220;have to be the aggressors and be assertive&#8221; next week in order to move further into the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend, the BU Terriers (19-7-8, 15-6-6 WHEA) split a pair of games: a 3-1 victory over the UConn Huskies (14-16-4, 9-14-4 WHEA) and a 2-1 defeat by the Providence Friars (22-10-2, 16-9-2 WHEA).
