WORCESTER, Mass. – Redshirt senior co-captain Sammy Davis notched two goals to lead the No. 8 Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 4-1 win at Holy Cross on Saturday afternoon at Hart Center.

Ten different Terriers registered a point to help BU (16-5-2, 11-5-2 HEAW) pick up its third consecutive win. Sophomores Courtney Correia and Emma Wuthrich both lit the lamp and seven different BU skaters recorded an assist. Sophomore Mackenna Parker, senior co-captain Natasza Tarnowski, sophomore Alex Allan, freshman Haylee Blinkhorn, sophomore Kaleigh Donnelly and junior Jesse Compher provided one helper apiece.

Sophomore Kate Stuart made 11 saves and did not allow an even-strength goal to pick up her fifth straight victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Holy Cross started the contest well, but Stuart made five saves in the opening six minutes to keep the game scoreless.
Correia opened the scoring with 3:22 remaining in the first frame. Stationed at center ice, Tarnowski chipped the puck up to Parker, who skated up the right wing and forced a pad save out of Jada Brenon (35 saves). Correia crashed the net and knocked home the rebound for her fifth marker of the season.
Davis made it 2-0 just 1:21 into the second stanza when she collected a pass from Allan at the Crusader blue line, split two defenders and deftly slid a backhander past Brenon.
Wuthrich extended the lead to 3-0 just 2:30 later. Blinkhorn kept the puck alive in the offensive zone and eventually got it to Donnelly, who evaded a defender below the goal line and quickly fed Wuthrich in front. Wuthrich made no mistake for her second strike of the season.
Davis closed the period just like she started, this time scoring on a power play at the 18:21 mark. Cook began the sequence at the top of the zone, dishing the puck to Compher in the left circle. Compher slid a pass across to Davis at the other dot, where she collected the puck and whistled it past Brenon.
Holy Cross took advantage of a power-play chance to score its lone goal of the game at 1:02 of the final frame.
