It was a game of missed opportunities for the 14th-ranked Boston University Women’s Ice Hockey Team (14-6-1, 11-3-1 HE) as they fell 2-0 to the University of New Hampshire Wildcats (11-11-1, 7-9-0 HE) on Saturday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Not good enough,” coach Tara Watchorn said. “Wasn’t our brand of hockey and we just couldn’t self correct quick enough the weekend between the Beanpot games.”<\/p>\n

The first period opened up with a goal from Shea Verrier, who shoved the puck in on the backhand, digging through BU netminder Callie Shanahan to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although giving up the early goal, the Terriers continued a strong offensive push, throwing 10 shots at UNH goaltender Sedona Blair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They have a good goalie in net, and, you know, once they got one on us, I think we just started hesitating,” Watchorn said.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats kept the pressure up in the Terriers’ zone, keeping Shanahan pinned throughout the opening period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second frame saw UNH with two man-advantages that were successfully killed off by BU. However, the second power play for the Wildcats carried on into the final period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sara Boucher found the puck and pushed it past Shanahan just two seconds after the conclusion of the UNH power-play, giving the Wildcats a 2-0 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shanahan was pulled for the extra attacker as a last-ditch effort to get themselves back into the game, but they were unsuccessful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the game’s total shutout, coach Watchorn found that the team was lacking their typical flow of offense and defensive communication.<\/p>\n

“There was a lot of hesitation and not a lot of communication,” Watchorn said.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the Terriers’ have been shut out since Oct. 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following this loss, BU will regroup and head to TD Garden on Tuesday, Jan 21, for the Dunkin’ Beanpot Championship against Northeastern University. The title game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with streaming available on ESPN+.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
