Box Score Box Score Highlights

BOSTON - Freshman Julia Nearis notched her fourth goal of the season, but No. 4 Northeastern tallied two third-period goals to sneak past the ninth-ranked Boston University women's ice hockey team, 2-1, on Friday night at Walter Brown Arena.

Nearis extended her point streak to three games thanks to her power-play goal in the second stanza. Senior Abby Cook and redshirt senior Sammy Davis both assisted on Nearis' marker. Cook now has a six-game point streak while Davis joined Nearis by moving her point streak to three tilts.

BU (5-2-1, 2-2-1 HEAW) had its four-game win streak snapped despite 35 saves from junior Corinne Schroeder. Northeastern (6-1-0, 3-1-0 HEAW) got 22 saves from Aerin Frankel, including 10 in the final frame, to stave off a late Terrier rally.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Schroeder made several spectacular saves during the contest, including a stop on Veronika Pettey from point-blank range late in the first period to keep the game scoreless.
Nearis opened the scoring for BU at 5:56 of the middle period. Davis and Cook played catch at the top of the zone before Cook uncorked a shot on goal. Stationed between the faceoff circles, Nearis redirected the blast past Frankel.
Northeastern nearly equalized halfway through the stanza on a 2-on-1 rush, but Schroeder denied Skylar Fontaine from close range to keep BU in the lead.
The Huskies broke through with a power-play strike just 52 seconds into the third period, then followed with the winner at the 10:20 mark.
BU pressured late and pulled Schroeder for an extra attacker in the final minute, but the Terriers were unable to salvage a point.

GAME NOTES

Cook has collected seven points (3g, 4a) during her six-game point streak.
Schroeder has allowed just two even-strength goals over her last 284:05 of work dating back to the Oct. 11 game against Merrimack.
Nearis has scored in both BU home games this season.
Friday was the Terriers' annual Do It For Daron Mental Health Awareness game.
