However, historically, BU has a 26-20-3 winning record against UNH, stretching back to September 1978, which includes a 17-7-2 home advantage and a 0-4 losing streak in the past four games. Sunday\u2019s match will be the 50th meeting between the Terriers and the Wildcats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This season, UNH defeated Providence College, with a score of 4-3 in an overtime win. BU, however, lost to Providence in the second overtime, with a score of 2-3, during their first game of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This past Sunday, the Wildcats beat Dartmouth College in a 3-2 second overtime victory. It was the second game this season where UNH reached overtime. Junior captain Kathelijne Knuttel scored to secure the win in both games. Knuttel has scored 8 goals so far this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against Dartmouth, Wildcat goalkeeper Abby Johnson saved 3 goals. Johnson is backed by the strength of UNH defense as she faced zero shots on goal during both overtime plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU senior forward Caroline O&#8217;Brien is a player to watch after she scored the game-winner in last Friday\u2019s game against the College of Holy Cross. She leads the team with six goals so far this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU\u2019s defense will have to stand its ground against the tough UNH midfield, which is led by Knuttel. However, the Terriers have a star goalkeeper, Sophie Ortyl, to protect the goal. She had her second season shutout in last Sunday\u2019s game. In addition to her skill, the shutout was a credit to the strong Terrier defense, as Ortyl only faced one shot on goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terriers will face the Wildcats on Sep 28th at 1p.m. at New Balance Field.
