BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team came up short at home against UConn on Saturday afternoon as an early goal was the only scoring in a 1-0 contest at Walter Brown Arena.

The Terriers now stand at 5-3-3 on the year with a 4-2-3 Hockey East mark while the Huskies are now 10-1-0 following their home-and-home sweep and are now 6-1-0 in the league.

HOW IT HAPPENED

A turnover near their blue line proved costly for the Terriers as UConn's Natalie Snodgrass broke up a play in front of the BU bench and skated in before putting the puck off the crossbar and in 7:42 into the contest.
Each team went on to have one power-play chance in the first but the penalty kill units were up to the task.
Neither team was able to generate much offense in the middle period and the Huskies continued the 1-0 lead into the final period.
After getting one more power-play opportunity in the second, the visitors got three more in the third but were unable to establish a multi-goal lead.
BU mustered a few late chances but Samantha Carpentier-Yale finished off a 15-save shutout for the Huskies to complete the sweep.
