STORRS, Conn. - Junior
Corinne Schroeder stopped all 38 shots she faced to lead the Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 1-0 win at UConn on Friday night at Freitas Ice Forum.
Schroeder's sensational performance made sure that senior
Deziray De Sousa's second-period strike held up as the game-winning goal. The junior goaltender made 14 saves in the first and third frames and stopped 10 shots in the second stanza. Eleven of her saves came during the Huskies' three power plays. She also made several key stops when UConn (3-2-0, 1-2-0 HEAW) pulled its goalie for the final 1:05 of the contest.
Senior
Abby Cook and sophomore
Courtney Correia both assisted on De Sousa's first goal of the season, which helped BU improve to 2-1-1 overall and 1-1-1 in league play.
THE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
- De Sousa scored the game's lone goial with 54.1 seconds remaining in the second stanza. Cook fired a shot on target from the right point, which Morgan Fisher (25 saves) turned aside. De Sousa collected the rebound, however, and quickly sent it into the net.
- Schroeder's most important save came with 6:30 remaining in regulation. Morgan Wabick, the Huskies' leading goal scorer, got behind the BU defense but was unable to beat Schroeder, who stood tall and denied the junior forward.
