In the past five matchups between Boston University and the University of New Hampshire, the away team has emerged victorious. That streak stretches to six after Friday evening\u2019s result, as the Wildcats (10-10-1, 7-6-1 HEA) took down the Terriers (9-9-2, 7-7-1 HEA), 4-1 at Walter Brown Arena.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU\u2019s efforts were largely doomed by their defensive effort, as junior goaltender Callie Shanahan\u2019s return nearly a year after her previous appearance was spoiled, allowing 4 goals on 16 shots. Two would come on defensive breakdowns resulting in 2-on-1 opportunities, and one off an incredibly unlucky bounce.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the stat sheet, the game was tilted in the Terriers\u2019 favor, with 31 shots and 28-16 on faceoffs, but they could not solve UNH freshman goaltender Sedona Blair.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNH junior forward Brooke Hammer got the scoring started for the Wildcats six minutes in, shoveling the puck home amidst chaos in front of the net following graduate defenseman Rae Breton\u2019s point shot.<\/span><\/p>\n
