The Boston University Terriers (5-4) got the offensive production they have been desperately seeking lately in a 3-1 victory over Vermont (6-3) on Saturday night at Walter Brown Arena.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is nice to get the win today that is for sure, and I think it\u2019s nice to get the win how we got it,\u201d said BU assistant coach Tara Watchorn. \u201cWe played with attention to detail, team goals through and through, and we were playing together as a unit of five.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The majority of BU\u2019s offensive production came from their top line of junior forward Mackenna Parker, senior co-captain Jesse Compher and freshman forward Catherine Foulem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Compher finished with two goals and an assist, Parker tallied a goal and a helper, and Foulem added an assist on Compher\u2019s go-ahead goal in the second period. The Terriers dominated in zone time, especially in the final period, and they found a way to convert when they earned Grade ‘A’ scoring chances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think our team as a whole came out with a little bit more compete in us and I think we were ready to go today,\u201d Compher said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evening did not start off the way the Terriers had hoped. <\/span><\/p>\n

Midway through the opening period Vermont junior forward Theresa Schafzahl found herself wide open at the top of the left wing circle and beat BU junior goaltender Kate Stuart with a wrist shot just inside the far post. <\/span><\/p>\n

BU controlled the play for the final five minutes of the first period, but couldn\u2019t find a way to solve UVM freshman netminder Jessie McPherson. The Terriers entered the first intermission trailing 1-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers’ deficit would not linger for long. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just 1:31 into the middle frame, Parker collected a pass from Compher and quickly snapped a shot on goal. McPherson was unable to corral the puck and it trickled underneath her, and the game was tied at one apiece. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the secondary assist on Parker’s tally, freshman defender Tamara Giaquinto picked up her first collegiate point.<\/span><\/p>\n
