BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team fell in overtime, 3-2, to No. 12 Providence on Friday evening at Walter Brown Arena in the opener of a home-and-home series.

Junior Lacey Martin sent the game to overtime with a 5-on-3 goal with 6:54 to play and senior Catherine Foulem opened the scoring with a highlight-reel goal in the first period.

BU gets a point in the league standings and moves to 3-6-0 overall and 2-5-0 in Hockey East play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Friars earned the first power play of the game and produced five shots on goal during the advantage but the Terriers' penalty kill was up to the task.
BU opened the scoring at the 14:35 mark as sophomore Kylie Roberts collected the puck off a wide PC shot and skated up the ice before leaving it for Foulem, who weaved around the defense through the left side before beating PC netminder Sandra Abstreiter with a near-side shot.
The Terriers committed a pair of penalties in the second period but the team's penalty kill came up big once again to keep the visitors off the board entering the third period.
BU, however, gave the Friars a power-play chance early in the third and the Friars used it to record an equalizer.
Ida Press scored off assists from Rachel Weiss and Caroline Peterson at the 2:18 mark of the third to make it a 1-1 contest.
Less than two minutes later, the Terriers found themselves in a deficit as Noemi Neubauerove buried a chance from the slot at 3:45 to give the Friars a 2-1 lead.
Martin's game-tying goal came on a 5-on-3 power play as the junior took a pass from senior Nadia Mattivi before finding the far corner from the edge of the left circle with 6:54 left in regulation.
The teams finished the third period in a 2-2 deadlock to force an overtime session.
BU created a grade-A chance midway through overtime but Abstreiter came up with a save to kickstart a rush that created a breakaway chance for Sara Hjalmarsson, who faked a shot before beating BU netminder Andrea Brändli with 2:23 left in overtime.
