PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Seniors Victoria Bach and Rebecca Leslie each tallied a goal and an assist, but the Boston University women's ice hockey team dropped a 6-3 decision to No. 7 Providence on Saturday afternoon at Schneider Arena.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Providence (14-6-5, 10-2-3 WHEA) scored twice in the opening period to grab a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.
• BU (8-13-4, 4-10-3 WHEA) got on the board with a power-play goal at 9:49 of the second stanza. Sophomore Deziray De Sousa took a pass at the right circle from freshman Kristina Schuler and quickly shipped the puck across the zone to sophomore Natasza Tarnowski at the left post. The sophomore quickly cashed in for her third goal of the season.
• The Friars scored at the end of a 5-on-3 advantage to take a 3-1 lead into the second intermission and then followed with a goal at 8:59 of the third period to extend the lead to 4-1.
• Bach answered with her 25th goal of the season with 6:37 remaining in regulation. As a BU penalty expired, senior captain Rebecca Leslie lofted a pass for Bach in the offensive zone. She skated in alone on Madison Myers (29 saves) and slid the puck underneath the netminder's pads. Redshirt sophomore Abbey Stanley also assisted on Bach's goal.
• BU pulled freshman goaltender Corinne Schroeder (29 saves) in favor of an extra attacker, but Providence notched an empty-netter with 2:41 to play to create a 5-2 score.
• The Terriers didn't quit, however, and Leslie got BU back within two at 5-3 with 1:53 to play thanks to her 16th goal of the season. Bach and junior Reagan Rust each assisted on the marker.
