One of those games where I think there&#8217;s a lot of narratives and truths from every angle,&#8221; coach Tara Watchorn said. &#8220;When we played well and had some good possessions, it looked great. And when we gave them those little moments, [Princeton&#8217;s] a very skilled team and they made us pay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terriers fired a season-high 45 shots on goal, but the story of the game was Princeton\u2019s Jennifer Olnowich. Sporting a 3.21 GAA and .891 SV%, both ranking near the bottom in NCAA hockey, the senior netminder allowed just one goal and picked up a career-high 44 saves against a BU offense that sat at ninth in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No doubt [Olnowich played well],&#8221; Watchorn said. &#8220;There were opportunities we can upgrade, but I think that she had a great game.

Watchorn said. &#8220;There are a couple of controllable things that led to [their success], that are very much within our control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penalty struggles, difficulty breaking out, turnovers galore, and even when everything else went right, the Terriers could not solve Olnowich.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the Terriers got on the board, as Olnowich struggled to cover up the puck and Kaileigh Quigg chipped it across the goal line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as was the case for nearly the entire game, a poorly-timed penalty derailed any pressure BU carried after the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah Paul fired one home off the draw on the power-play, and Lucia DiGirolamo kicked the extra point to put the game to bed with 15 minutes still on the clock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Paul&#8217;s second, a bar-down rip, tacked on the two-point conversion, and BU ends their Agganis stay with a devastating loss.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Princeton 8, BU 1 | 15:59 (3rd)<\/p>\n<p>Bar down from Sarah for her second of the game!<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f4fa;ESPN+ <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XEvQuiK6wI\">pic.twitter.com\/XEvQuiK6wI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Princeton Women&#8217;s Ice Hockey (@PWIH) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PWIH\/status\/1861881882809364736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Next up, another extended break before heading up to the Alfond to face the University of Maine Black Bears on Dec. 6 at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Excited to have some downtime, and have time to decode this game, but also not give it too much energy that it doesn&#8217;t need,&#8221;
