CAREER-DAY FOR CONRY

  • Conry set new career-highs with three goals and eight assists for 11 points.
  • Both her 11 points and eight assists are the highest total a Patriot League player has accounted for in a single game this season.
  • Her eight assists are tied for the fourth-highest single-game total in the NCAA this season, while her 11 points are tied for sixth in a single game.
  • She fell both one point and one assist short of matching BU's single-game point and assist records and is the first player to surpass double-digit points since Danielle Etrasco set the single-game record with 12 against Ohio State March 16, 2013.
SAVING THE DAY
  • Meegan's eighth save with seven seconds left in the first half broke the BU single-season saves record. 
  • She finished the day with 17 saves to bring her season total to 191.
  • The previous record was set in 2008 by Rachel Klein, who stopped 174 shots.
SECOND HALF COMEBACK
  • Trailing 7-5 at the half, BU outscored UNH 11-4 in the second half.
  • With the score tied at 10-10 with 16:29 left, BU reeled off a 6-1 run to close out the game, holding the Wildcats scoreless until the final 17 seconds of the game.
  • Conry started the run with her third score before assisting on the last four goals.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • BU capitalized on a player-up situation to start the game, as Mickenzie Larivee scored 18 seconds into action and Conry followed less than a minute later to stake the early 2-0 advantage.
  • The Wildcats spurted a 3-0 run to take the lead with 20:39 left on the clock, but the lead was short-lived as Larivee tied it up 20 seconds later by scooping up a ground ball off a turnover just outside the crease and easily beat the Wildcats' netminder.
  • UNH claimed its first-two goal lead, 5-3, before Avery Donahoe dodged her way from the top of the crease to put the game within one.
  • The Wildcats added another pair of back-to-back goals to go up by three until Elisabeth Jayne answered before the half, sending BU to the locker room trailing by two at 7-5.
  • Conry sent a charge into the offense as she started the second half with her second score of the game before setting up Mackenzie Howe and Kelly Mathews, as the Terriers took the lead back, 8-7, with 26:22 left in the game.
  • Larivee followed with a free position goal for her third of the game, marking her sixth straight game with a hat trick.
  • New Hampshire labored another 2-0 run until Donahoe put the Terriers in command with a score in transition with 19:05 remaining, but the Wildcats responded to knot the score for the sixth time at 10-10.
  • BU erupted for a 6-1 run, while holding the Wildcats scoreless for 16 minutes, to seal its third straight win on the road.
GAME NOTES
  • BU extended its series command to 25-14 over the Wildcats and won its first game in Durham since 2009.
  • The win also marks the first time since 2009 the road team has taken the game, as the Terriers and Wildcats won their respective home games in each of the previous nine matchups.
  • New Hampshire natives Howe, Larivee and Jayne, all got on the board and combined for six goals.
  • Larivee scored four goals for the second straight game and has scored 22 times over the past six games.
