Terriers Battle No. 2 Eagles to 2-2 Tie

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Senior captain Rebecca Leslie recorded a goal and an assist to help the Boston University women's ice hockey team earn a 2-2 tie at No. 2 Boston College on Friday afternoon at Conte Forum.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Leslie gave BU a 1-0 lead with 1:01 remaining in the opening frame. Senior Victoria Bach began the sequence by chipping the puck to sophomore Deziray De Sousa, who then fed it to Leslie. The senior captain skated into the offensive end, got between the circles and ripped a shot that had eyes for the back of the net.
  • BC answered with a power-play goal 58 seconds into the second stanza.
  • Senior Nina Rodgers regained the lead for BU just 30 seconds into the final frame. With the Terriers on a power play, Leslie fed sophomore Abby Cook at the top of the zone. Burt saved Cook's shot, but the rebound bounced off Burt and right to Rodgers at the left post for the put-back.
  • The Eagles countered with a Toni Ann Miano goal at the 9:28 mark to even the score.

LESLIE KEEPS LIGHTING UP THE SCORESHEET

  • Leslie extended her point streak to seven games (7g, 11a) with her 13th goal of the season.
  • Friday was the sixth straight game in which Leslie notched at least two points.
  • She has tallied 13 goals and 16 assists for 29 total points this year.

RODGERS DOES IT AGAIN AGAINST THE EAGLES

  • Rodgers has a knack for scoring goals against BC.
  • She lit the lamp in all four games against the Eagles last year.
  • On the season, Rodgers has tallied five goals and added two assists for seven points.

BACH KEEPS ROLLING

  • Bach improved her point streak to seven games thanks to her assist on Friday.
  • She has tallied 12 goals and seven assists for 19 points during that stretch.
  • Bach leads the Terriers with 32 points (17g, 15a) this season.

STRONG START FOR O'NEIL

  • Senior goaltender Erin O'Neil was sharp in her first start since Oct. 28.
  • She made 36 saves, including a great glove stop when Daryl Watts, the nation's leading point producer, got behind the defense early in the third period.
  • Sixteen of O'Neil's stops came in the third period and overtime.
