Boston University Women’s Ice Hockey (5-3-0, 4-1-0 HEA) completed a weekend sweep against Syracuse University (2-6-0, 0-0-0 AHA) in a 3-2 victory at the Tennity Ice Pavilion on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Despite consistent offensive opportunities for both the Orange and the Terriers, neither team was able to net any shots during the opening minutes in the first frame. <\/p>\n

A chance arose for Syracuse about halfway through the first period when the Orange gained a power play after an interference call against BU.<\/p>\n

With multiple incredible saves by goaltender Mari Pietersen, the Terriers successfully killed the penalty, leaving the rest of the period scoreless. <\/p>\n

BU’s continued sustained offensive pressure proved to be beneficial for the Terriers in the second. <\/p>\n

Early into the middle frame, Syracuse defender Charlotte Hallett was helped off the ice after a trip from Maeve Carry. Hallett’s absence became a struggle for the Orange, as the Terriers ended the second period with a significant shot-on-goal disparity, where BU had 24 shots compared to Syracuse’s 11.<\/p>\n

Although there was consistent offensive pressure from the Terriers, goaltender Allie Kelley performed well and was the difference-maker for the Orange. <\/p>\n

Toward the end of the period, a penalty called on Charli Kettyle gave BU their first powerplay opportunity.<\/p>\n

Just 10 seconds into the man advantage, a shot from the top left circle from Sydney Healey broke the deadlock, giving the Terriers a 1-0 lead with four minutes left in the period. <\/p>\n

However, this lead was short-lived.<\/p>\n

With 20 seconds left in the period, former Terrier Jackson Kinsler tied up the game for Syracuse with a shot netted in the top right corner. <\/p>\n

Both teams entered the third period eager to create more offensive opportunities, but only BU found success. <\/p>\n

With a significant shot-on-goal advantage, it was inevitable for the Terriers to regain the lead. <\/p>\n

Riley Walsh did just that. A shot trickled in off the right post four minutes into the final period, marking Walsh’s third goal and fifth point of the season for a 2-1 Terrier lead. <\/p>\n

Continued weak defensive pressure from the Orange gave BU more opportunities.
\nAfter a two-on-one breakaway for the Terriers, Lola Reid scored the third goal of the night. <\/p>\n

“Lola Reid is producing for us quite well.” Assistant Coach Megan Myers said in a post-game interview. <\/p>\n

Reid continues to be the lead scorer for the Terriers, with 11 points so far this season and six goals.<\/p>\n

Syracuse managed to generate one more goal with five minutes left in the period, as defender Maya D’Arcy scored following a pass from the slot. <\/p>\n

The game’s last five minutes saw rep after rep from the top two Syracuse lines, but they could not find an equalizer against the Terriers.<\/p>\n

BU maintained a relaxed, calm offense throughout the game, sticking to their strategy regardless of who was on the ice for Syracuse, ultimately leading to their victory.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy with the win,” Myers said. “Every game we are becoming more mature in the way we handle close games like this.”<\/p>\n

The Terriers will look to continue their five-game win streak on Nov. 1 against Providence College for another back-to-back weekend series. Puck drop is set for 3 p.m. at Agganis Arena, with streaming available on ESPN+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
