BOSTON — Despite leading in shots for most of the matchup, the No. 9 Boston University women's hockey team was unable to score against No. 4 Northeastern, falling 2-0 at Matthews Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Junior Corinne Schroeder finished with 20 saves, including 17 in the final 40 minutes, while sophomore Mackenna Parker had a team-high three shots for the Terriers (5-3-1, 2-3-1 WHEA).

HOW IT HAPPENED

While both teams had chances in front of the net, Northeastern (7-1-0, 4-1-0 HEAW) opened the scoring after Tessa Ward fired the puck through traffic at 15:43 in the first period.
BU went on the power play, the team's only one of the contest, less than a minute after the goal but was unable to capitalize.
The Terriers held a 9-4 shot advantage after the first period.
Veronika Pettey put the Huskies up, 2-0, in the second frame after receiving the puck from Matti Hartman right in front of the BU net.
One of the Terriers' best chances of the afternoon came in the final frame when Parker rushed up the left side of the ice and fired a close-range shot. However, Aerin Frankel, who made 20 saves on the night, trapped the puck.
Schroeder made two key saves with less than eight minutes left to keep Northeastern off the board in the third period.
BU pulled Schroeder from the net with 2:33 remaining in regulation for a 6-on-5 advantage but couldn't cut the Huskies' lead in half.
