COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - For the third straight year, Boston University women's ice hockey standout Jesse Compher has been named to the U.S. Women's National Team that will compete in the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation Women's World Championship May 6-16, in Halifax and Truro, Nova Scotia.

Compher won gold at the 2019 tournament and was selected to the roster for the 2020 event that was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She also appeared for the senior national team in the first two games of the 2019-20 Rivalry Series against Canada in December 2019, centering her country's top line in the second of those two contests. The Northbrook, Illinois, native has participated in three major international tournaments with the U.S., having also skated in the 2016 and 2017 Under-18 Women's World Championships, and has won gold all three times. 

Named a Hockey East All-Star for a third consecutive year, Compher was terrific for the Terriers in their short 2020-21 season. She led the team in goals (7) and points (11) in just nine games, and her average of 1.38 points per game in the regular season ranked fifth among Division I skaters and second in Hockey East. Compher was held off the score sheet just twice this season and notched a goal in five of her nine appearances. 

The 2019 Second Team All-American has recorded 127 career points thanks to 46 goals and 81 assists. Compher ranks fifth all-time in assists and ninth all-time in points among Terrier skaters.
