BURLINGTON, Vt. - Junior Jesse Compher tallied two goals and two assists to help lead the Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 5-1 win at Vermont on Sunday afternoon at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

BU (10-4-1, 5-4-1 HEAW) fell behind Vermont (5-5-5, 2-5-3) just six seconds into the contest, but the Terriers evened the score late in the first frame and notched three more goals in the second stanza en route to the triumph.

Redshirt senior Sammy Davis matched her career high with three assists while senior Abby Cook collected two points thanks to a goal and an assist. Freshman Julia Nearis and junior Kristina Schuler also lit the lamp. Sophomore Kaleigh Donnelly, senior Breanna Scarpaci and redshirt senior Abbey Stanley added one assist apiece.

Junior Corinne Schroeder overcame that early blemish to stop the remaining 21 shots she saw on the afternoon to earn her seventh win of the season.

For the third straight game, the Terrier power play was terrific. BU was 3-for-4 with the player advantage and now has scored on eight of its last 10 power plays.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Vermont won the opening faceoff and scored just six seconds into the game to grab a 1-0 lead.
• Nearis answered with a nifty goal at 15:09 of the first period. Compher and Nearis combined to intercept a breakout pass in the UVM zone. Nearis then dangled past a defender and deked Natalie Ferenc (13 saves) before sliding the puck into the open net for her team-leading eighth marker of the campaign.
• Cook began the Terriers' three-goal second stanza with a power-play goal just 2:00 into the frame when she one-timed a Davis pass past Ferenc.
• Compher then extended the lead to 3-1 at the 12:46 mark with her first of two power-play strikes. Davis found Compher stationed at the bottom of the left circle and Compher made no mistake in putting the puck into the back of the net.
• Schuler made it 4-1 just over a minute later. Scarpaci kept the puck in at the blue line and sent it along the wall to the right corner. Schuler won a battle for the puck, came out to the bottom of the right circle and uncorked a wicked wrister under the crossbar for her seventh goal of the year.
• Compher concluded the scoring just 1:18 into the third when she skated to the right post and knocked home a Davis pass past Blanka Skodova (three saves).
