Terriers Fall to New Hampshire, 4-1

BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team had a three-game win streak snapped on Friday evening, dropping a 4-1 home contest to New Hampshire at Walter Brown Arena.

The Wildcats scored twice in each of the first two periods to take a 4-0 lead before sophomore Luisa Welcke scored for the fourth straight game to get BU on the board.

BU also had a four-game unbeaten streak (3-0-1) come to an end and now stands at 9-9-2 overall and 7-7-1 in Hockey East play.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Wildcats opened the scoring at 6:16 of the first when Brooke Hammer popped in a rebound at the right post.
  • Just over four minutes later, an unfortunate bounce for the Terriers resulted in a 2-0 deficit lead as a BU pass to start a breakout glazed off a UNH skate, causing the puck to redirect towards the net, where it went off a BU skate and in.
  • The Terriers had the lone power-play chance of the first but could not take advantage of it.
  • In the second, UNH doubled its lead to 4-0 with a pair of goals right at the crease.
  • Tamara Thierus found Danika Botterill all alone at the left crease at 7:05 of the second before Mikah Baptiste set up Sadie Makokis in the same spot three minutes later.
  • The Terriers scored the lone goal of the third off a rush as Welcke had a tap-in by the right post thanks to assists from graduate student Nadia Mattivi and sophomore Brooke Disher.
  • BU had three power-play chances in the third, including a 47-second 5-on-3 advantage, but goaltender Sedona Blair and the UNH defense was up to the task each time.

GAME NOTES
  • The Terriers held a 31-16 advantage in shots.
  • Junior Callie Shanahan made her season debut for the Terriers after recovering from an offseason injury and made 12 saves.
  • Blair turned aside 30 BU shots to earn first-star honors.
  • BU was 0-for-6 on the power play while the Wildcats were 0-for-4.

UP NEXT
  • BU will make its first visit to UConn's Toscano Family Ice Forum when it takes on the 12th-ranked Huskies on Saturday (Jan. 13)
  • Game time is set for 3 p.m.
  • UConn earned a 2-1 win at Merrimack on Friday to improve to 13-6-2 overall and 10-3-1 in Hockey East play.
