BURLINGTON, Vt. - Senior Victoria Bach scored a career-high four goals to lead the Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 7-1 win over Vermont on Friday night at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

GOAL-BY-GOAL

• Bach opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal just 7:09 into the proceedings. Junior Reagan Rust began the sequence by clearing the zone with a pass to senior captain Rebecca Leslie. Leslie skated into the offensive zone and waited for Bach to race past a defender to get open at the right post. Bach then backhanded Leslie's pass past Sydney Scobee (14 saves).
• Sophomore Natasza Tarnowski tallied her second goal of the season just over three minutes later. Freshman Jesse Compher forced a turnover in the neutral zone, gathered the puck and skated into the UVM zone. Tarnowski hustled to the top of the crease, where she met Compher's pass and one-timed the puck into the back of the net.
• Bach extended the lead to 3-0 at the 13:48 mark of the opening frame. Junior Mary Grace Kelley intercepted a pass at the UVM blue line to keep the puck in the zone. She sent the puck to Bach, who found Leslie cutting to the right post. Scobee denied Leslie, but Bach knocked home the rebound for her seventh strike of the season.
• It became 4-0 just 1:22 into the second stanza when Bach went coast-to-coast before uncorking a wicked wrist shot that beat Scobee top shelf. Kelley and Rust each assisted on the strike.
• Leslie made it 5-0 at the 3:48 mark of the period when she stayed with her own shot and sent converted the rebound for her eighth goal of the campaign. Bach added an assist, as did Kelley.
• Vermont got a goal back with 7:43 left in the stanza, but Bach quickly reclaimed the Terriers' five-goal lead with her fourth goal of the night. Once again it was an outstanding individual effort, as she beat a defender and then lifted a backhander into the top right corner. Leslie and sophomore Abby Cook each had a helper on that marker.
• Redshirt sophomore Abbey Stanley notched her first goal as a Terrier at the 17:25 juncture of the middle period. She dangled around a defender before ripping a shot into the top right corner.
