Terriers Fall to No. 5/7 Northeastern in Season Opener, 4-1

BOSTON – The Boston University women's ice hockey team dropped a 4-1 contest to No. 5/7 Northeastern in the season opener at Walter Brown Arena on Friday.
 
BU made it a 1-1 game with 4:35 left in the opening period. The Huskies regained the lead in the final minute of the second period before adding two goals, including an empty-netter, in the last 40 seconds of regulation.
 
Senior Catherine Foulem was the lone scorer for the Terriers with sophomores Sydney Healey and Clara Yuhn assisting on the goal.
 
In net, freshman goaltender Mari Pietersen made 22 saves in her collegiate debut.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a slow start to the game, Northeastern got on the board after a loose puck was gathered off a rebound and put in the net at the 13:11 mark.
  • With momentum in BU's favor thanks to a power-play chance moments later, Foulem scored the equalizer with a shot that snuck in near the right post with help from Healey and Yuhn just after the penalty expired.
  • BU went on the power play again midway through the second period, but nothing came of the chance.
  • With just over a minute left in the second, graduate student Nadia Mattivi went to the box for holding.
  • The Huskies converted on the woman-up opportunity with 35 seconds left in the period to take a 2-1 lead.
  • The Terriers picked up some momentum after successfully killing two penalties early in the final frame.
  • BU pulled Pietersen to add an extra skater with 1:14 to go, but it was Northeastern that would capitalize on an empty-net goal.
  • With Pietersen back in net, the Huskies added another goal with four seconds left to bring the final score to 4-1.
