Graduate forward Natalie Snodgrass scored the lone goal off the game as the University of Connecticut Huskies (10-1, 6-1 HE) took down the Boston University Terriers (5-3-3, 4-2-3 HE) 1-0 at Walter Brown Arena on Saturday. The win marks a weekend sweep of the Terriers for UConn after winning 2-1 at home on Friday.<\/p>\n

“I’ve gotta give a lot of credit to UConn for a big weekend, a successful weekend for them,” BU head coach Brian Durocher said. “I like the spirit and the fight our team had.”<\/p>\n

The Huskies’ 10-1 record is the best start to a season in program history. Snodgrass’ fourth of the season was unassisted. Senior netminder Samantha Carpentier-Yelle made 15 saves for UConn, who have now won three straight games.<\/p>\n

Senior goaltender Kate Stuart made 27 saves for the Terriers. Senior forward Mackenna Parker had five shots on goal. The Terriers have lost three of their last six contests.<\/p>\n

Snodgrass scored at 7:42 of the first. The Eagan, Minn., native stole the puck from BU senior forward Emma Wuthrich just inside the Terrier blue line before sending a wrist shot high, blocker side past Stuart.<\/p>\n

UConn outshot the Terriers 14-10 through the first two periods, although each team had six shots on goal in the second.<\/p>\n

“We know what we have to work on this week: the need to get to the net a little faster, make the small passes that create openings and just to put things away,” Durocher said. “In the first two periods we probably shot it over the net a half dozen times. That doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the goalie or the other team.”<\/p>\n

BU struggled to generate offense for most of the game, save for a late push in the third period, but the Terriers were unable to beat Carpentier-Yelle. Despite the final surge from BU, the Huskies still outshot the Terriers 14-5 in the final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

UConn was 0-for-5 on the power play. The Terriers were 0-for-1.<\/p>\n

“I know we had a couple chances and kept pushing in the third period, but we probably gave up too much to get one,” Durocher said. “Thanks to [Stuart] for coming up with some big saves… We were there at the end to pull the goalie and maybe see what we can do.<\/p>\n

“Compliments to [Stuart] and compliments to the penalty killers.”<\/p>\n

UConn will host Brown on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

BU will return to action on Thursday, kicking off a home-and-home with Holy Cross at 6 p.m. on the road before returning home to Walter Brown Arena on Friday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
