STORRS, Conn. — The Boston University women\u2019s hockey team ended their season in a 3-1 loss to third-seeded UConn in the quarterfinals of the Hockey East tournament on Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Senior forward Courtney Correia scored her 14<\/span>th<\/span> goal of the season just 43 seconds into play, and freshman goaltender Callie Shanahan made 23 saves.<\/span><\/p>\n

UConn\u2019s senior forward Morgan Wabick (one goal, one assist) shot into BU\u2019s empty net at 18:51 of the third to close the game with a two-goal lead (23-8-4, 16-7-4 HE).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had it right down to the end, got the goalie out, but just couldn\u2019t quite execute, you know, at the level that we would\u2019ve liked to to maybe tie it up,\u201d BU head coach Brian Durocher said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers finish their season 12-5-6 and 11-9-5 in Hockey East.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I take away on the positive side is that I feel like we have a foundation there with our goaltending and defense. A lot of experience returning in those areas\u201d Durocher said. \u201cOur biggest need is the offensive side of the game. We\u2019ve got to retool a little bit, and develop people to be a little more confident.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BU came out firing in the first, scoring their lone goal 43 sseconds in with Correia making it in off her own rebound. The assists came from Terriers Catherine Foulem and Nadia Mattivi.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The Huskies answered back shortly after at 12:47 in the first. Senior forward Viki Harkness (one goal, one assist) connected with sophomore forward Jada Habisch, who was ready in the slot, evening the game at 1-1.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the only power-play opportunity for UConn all night, Harkness posted in front of the Terriers goal to knock in the rebound of Wabick\u2019s shot at 7:52 into the second to put the Huskies up 2-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Huskies solidified the win with 1:09 left in the game after BU pulled their goalie with two minutes left. Senior forward Summer-Rae Dobson was able to deflect the puck from Terrier Correia in the neutral zone, leaving Wabick a chance at the open net.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>UConn outshot BU 26-16 and while the Huskies were able to capitalize on the power-play, the Terriers went 0-for-3 with a player advantage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe have to get our power-play in the right direction because we tried so many different combinations, people, even structurally tried some different things,\u201d Durocher said. \u201cBut in the end, the execution of passing and receiving and shooting the puck was not done in a very good order.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Huskies will advance to the Hockey East Semifinals to take place on Wednesday, March 2, with the championship to be held on Saturday, March 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
