Despite a big tying goal from junior forward Clare O\u2019Leary, Boston University Women\u2019s Hockey (7-15-0, 6-12-0 HE) fell 2-1 in overtime to the Holy Cross Crusaders (4-18-1, 3-14-0 HE) on Friday afternoon at Hart Center Rink.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExciting game, certainly with an exciting ending,\u201d BU Head Coach Brian Durocher said. \u201cI thought we played well for two periods, the third period was a little more advantage Holy Cross.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers took on the Crusaders for the third time in their past four games, including a 3-2 loss in last week\u2019s Frozen Fenway. Overall, Holy Cross prevailed in two of the three matchups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Junior goaltender Andrea Br\u00e4ndli was given the start in net for the Terriers and responded with a 38-save performance, one of her best of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither team found the score sheet for the first 40 minutes, with Terriers controlling the shot counter 20-18.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the third period, Holy Cross more than doubled their game output for shots on goal, testing Br\u00e4ndli with 21 shots. During the barrage, Holy Cross took the lead thanks to a power play. After freshman defender Maeve Kelly was given a two-minute penalty for interference, Holy Cross senior forward Mary Edmonds connected on the advantage to give Holy Cross a 1-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

With under three minutes left to play, BU gained a power play of their own after junior defender Vala Graves committed a hooking penalty. With the goalie pulled for a 6-on-4 advantage, freshman forward Sydney Healey escaped with the puck after a board battle before passing the puck over to captain Nadia Mattivi. Mattivi walked in and took the shot, where O\u2019Leary tipped it in for the tying goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overtime ended quickly, as Edmonds put home a cross-crease pass from freshman forward Lane Lewis for her second goal of the game just 23 seconds into the extra frame, giving Holy Cross their second win in a row.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCredit to everybody for coming back and fighting right to the end and getting the tying goal, and credit to our opponent for finishing the job in OT,\u201d Durocher said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers will have the weekend off before returning to Walter Brown Arena to face No. 13 Providence on Tuesday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
