BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team battled No. 9 Northeastern to a 3-3 tie on Saturday afternoon at Walter Brown Arena.

Sophomore Jesse Compher, redshirt junior Sammy Davis and sophomore Nara Elia all lit the lamp for the Terriers (0-1-1, 0-1-1 WHEA). Sophomore Corinne Schroeder made 35 saves and stopped all eight Northeastern (1-0-1, 1-0-1 WHEA) shots she faced in the third period and overtime.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Terriers got off to a dream start when Compher scored the team's first goal of the season just 2:40 into the proceedings. Compher gained entry into the Northeastern zone before dropping the puck back for freshman Courtney Correia. The rookie fired a shot on goal that Brittany Bugalski (34 saves) turned aside, but Compher was there to knock home the rebound.
Northeastern responded with a power-play marker 2:08 after Compher's strike, but Davis answered right back with her first goal of the year to regain the lead. Compher and freshman Alex Allan each assisted on Davis' tally.
Elia extended the lead to 3-1 with 1:08 remaining in the first frame. Davis rushed up the left wing and fired a pass to the front of the net. The puck caromed off a Husky skate and right to Elia, who fired home her first goal of the season. Junior Abby Cook began the rush and earned her first assist of the season.
The Huskies tallied two goals in the second stanza, including a power-play strike, to even the score at 3-3 entering the final 20 minutes.
BU outshot Northeastern, 18-6, in the third period but was unable to get a go-ahead goal.
The Terriers' sustained pressure in the Northeastern offensive zone led to a pair of power-play chances, but the Huskies killed off both chances to keep the game tied after 60 minutes.
BU earned its sixth power-play opportunity of the contest with 1:16 to play in overtime, but the Terriers were unable to capitalize on it.
