CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Freshman Emma Wuthrich and sophomore Jesse Compher both scored third-period goals to help lift the Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 3-2 victory over No. 4 Boston College on Friday night at Conte Forum.

Wuthrich's first collegiate goal broke a 1-1 tie early in the third period, with Compher adding an insurance goal with 5:38 remaining in regulation. Nara Elia also lit the lamp while freshman Kate Stuart made 42 saves to pick up her second win of the season in her first career start on the road. Redshirt junior Sammy Davis collected two assists while juniors Natasza Tarnowski and Deziray De Sousa each had an assist as well.

BU improved to 5-4-4 overall and 4-4-4 in Hockey East while the Eagles fell to 12-5-0 overall and 9-3-0 in league play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Terriers got off to a dream start just 6:45 into the proceedings. After Compher caught a pass from Davis at the left circle, the sophomore dished it to Elia at the right post for a tap-in finish.
• The Terriers killed off 1:21 of 5-on-3 time during the first period, with Stuart making seven of her 16 first-period saves on the penalty kill. She also denied Caitrin Lonergan on a breakaway bid early in the period to keep BU in front after the first frame.
• BC evened the score at 1-1 during a 4-on-4 situation at 7:09 of the second stanza.
• Wuthrich notched her first collegiate goal at 3:41 of the final frame. After Tarnowski and De Sousa both had in-close chances turned aside, the puck bounced to Wuthrich at the right post. The freshman collected it and calmly put it into the back of the net.
• Compher extended the lead to 3-1 when she uncorked a wrister from the right circle that went top shelf over Maddy McArthur's glove.
• BC got a goal back at 17:17 of the period, but the Terriers withstood a 6-on-5 barrage from the Eagles over the final minute to secure the victory.
