BOSTON - Senior captain Rebecca Leslie scored two goals, but the Boston University women's ice hockey team dropped a 4-2 decision to No. 2 Boston College on Saturday afternoon at Walter Brown Arena.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Leslie gave BU a 1-0 lead at the 16:44 mark of the opening frame when she skated into the offensive end and roofed a shot over Katie Burt's glove. Junior Mary Grace Kelley and senior Victoria Bach assisted on the goal.
The Eagles tallied twice in the second stanza to take a 2-1 lead before Leslie evened the score with 2:39 to play in the frame. With BU on a power play, Leslie took a pass from sophomore Abby Cook, walked to the top of the zone and sent a wrist shot past Burt. Freshman Nara Elia also assisted on Leslie's 15th goal of the season.
BC converted on a power-play opportunity at 4:35 of the third period to take a 3-2 lead before adding another just over a minute later to create the 4-2 final.
The Terriers had their chances to climb back into the game, including a minute of 6-on-3 power-play time, but they were unable to find a way past Burt.
BU pulled senior goaltender Erin O'Neil (35 saves) in favor of an extra attacker for a total of 4:26 on Saturday and did not allow an empty-net goal.

LESLIE KEEPS LIGHTING UP THE SCORESHEET

Leslie extended her point streak to eight games (9g, 11a) with her 14th and 15th goals of the season.
Saturday was the seventh straight game in which Leslie notched at least two points.
That is the nation's longest active multi-point streak.
She has tallied 15 goals and 16 assists for 31 total points this year.
