CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston University women's ice hockey team dropped a 3-0 contest to Boston College in the opener of a weekend home-and-home series on Friday evening at Conte Forum.

Olivia O'Brien scored two goals for the Eagles, who improved to 4-2-1 overall and 3-0-0 in Hockey East. The Terriers move to 2-3-0 with a 1-2-0 conference mark.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU killed off an early penalty but the Eagles were able to open the scoring later in the first.
O'Brien forced a turnover and then followed up her own rebound, finding the back of the net at 10:18 of the opening period.
That what was the first goal allowed by graduate student Andrea Brändli this season after opening with back-to-back shutouts.
After neither team scored in the middle period, the Eagles bumped up their lead just 21 seconds into the third when Abby Newhook pounced on a loose puck in the left circle before sneaking a shot past Brändli.
O'Brien notched her second goal of the night when a tipped pass found her all alone in the slot at the 8:35 mark of the third to create a three-goal cushion.
BU held a 25-20 shot advantage in the final two periods and had four power-play chances in the final 23 minutes of the contest but could not solve BC netminder Abigail Levy.

GAME NOTES

Brändli, who made 31 saves, had her shutout streak end at 199:48, dating back to Jan. 7 when she was playing for Ohio State.
BC held a 34-29 shot advantage for the game as Levy earned the win in goal with a 29-save performance.
BU was 0-for-4 on the power play and successfully killed off all three of the Eagles' chances with the player advantage.
Junior Julia Shaunessy and BC's Alexie Guay each had a game-high three blocked shots.
