Boston University Women’s Hockey (2-3-0, 1-2-0 HE) started their home-and-home series this weekend on the wrong foot, suffering a 3-0 shutout loss to their Commonwealth Avenue rivals, the Boston College Eagles (4-2-1, 3-0-0 HE), at Conte Forum Friday night.<\/p>\n

Abigail Levy for the Eagles and Andrea Br\u00e4ndli for the Terriers, both the more experienced of their team’s goaltending duos, got the start in goal. Br\u00e4ndli carried a shutout streak of two games heading into Friday night\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

BU Head Coach Brian Durocher had emphasized the importance of getting his team off to a strong start after last weekend’s split series against New Hampshire. Instead, BC dominated most of the play in the first period, sustaining much of the zone time in BU\u2019s end and outshooting the Terriers 14-4.<\/p>\n

10:18 into the game, BC junior forward Olivia O\u2019Brien picked the puck off BU junior defender Tamara Giaquinto and scored off her own rebound in a one-woman effort against Br\u00e4ndli to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead. For O\u2019Brien, it was her second goal of the season and marked the end of Br\u00e4ndli\u2019s two-game shutout streak.<\/p>\n

With just over two minutes left to play in the first, BC\u2019s O\u2019Brien looked to have scored her second goal of the night, but the goal was waved off due to an early whistle and the period ended 1-0 in favor of BC.<\/p>\n

The second period was a much stronger 20 minutes for BU offensively.<\/p>\n

Terrier\u2019s junior forward Catherine Foulem had the best scoring chance of the game for BU midway through the second period, attempting a backhander that Levy just got a piece of to keep the score at 1-0.<\/p>\n

BU outshot BC 12-10 in the second period, but they were unable to tie the game with their increased offensive pressure. The total shots on goal after 40 minutes of play were 24-16 in favor of the Eagles.<\/p>\n

Momentum shifted back into BC\u2019s favor early in the third when they received an energy-boosting goal from sophomore forward Abby Newhook, who scored her fourth goal of the season 21 seconds in. Newhook took advantage of a messy defensive play in BU\u2019s zone and put a shot on net that beat Br\u00e4ndli to make the score 2-0.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien put the exclamation point on the game with her second goal of the contest. After receiving a pass from senior forward Hannah Bilka, O\u2019Brien got a shot past Br\u00e4ndi to make it 3-0 Eagles.<\/p>\n

When the buzzer sounded to end the game, BC had outshot BU 34-29 and one the Battle on Comm. Ave 3-0. Levi stopped all 29 shots from BU, and Br\u00e4ndli made 31 saves on 34 shots in defeat.<\/p>\n

BU will look to get their revenge on BC on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Walter Brown Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 3 pm, and BU is hosting a Taylor Swift theme night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
