Women's Ice Hockey Falls at Holy Cross, 3-2

WORCESTER, Mass. - The Boston University women's ice hockey team came up short on Saturday evening against Holy Cross as the Crusaders earned a 3-2 home win at Hart Center Rink to complete a weekend sweep.

Sophomore Clara Yuhn and freshman Alex Law scored for the Terriers, who move to 11-13-3 overall and 9-10-1 in Hockey East play. Junior Callie Shanahan made 29 saves in goal for BU.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Holy Cross never trailed in the game, opening the scoring in the final seconds of the first before breaking ties of 1-1 and 2-2.
  • Millie Sirum scored near the right post with 7.6 seconds left in the opening period on play that developed from behind the BU net.
  • The Terriers got an equalizer 5:51 into the second period when a right-point shot by Yuhn caught a Holy Cross defender along the way before finding the back of the net.
  • The Crusaders regained the lead off a breakout as Bryn Saarela elevated the puck into the neutral zone ahead of Reghan Chadwick, whose wraparound attempt created a rebound that Emily Crovo sent in at 14:26 of the second.
  • It took just 26 seconds for BU to draw even once again as Law took a pass from sophomore Maeve Kelly and got into Holy Cross territory before leaving a drop pass for senior Lacey Martin. Martin's shot was saved by Holy Cross netminder Brooke Loranger but Law crashed the net to punch in the rebound, making it 2-2.
  • The game-winner came off a broken play off a rush as a pass tip by the Terriers resulted in a fortunate bounce for the Crusaders, allowing Lulu Rourke to find Crovo at the crease with 11:25 to play.
  • The Terriers pulled Shanahan for an extra skater with 2:53 to play but Loranger stopped all three shots on goal the rest of the way.

GAME NOTES
  • BU held a 39-32 advantage in shots for the contest.
  • Loranger made 37 saves to earn the win.
  • Each team went 0-for-2 on the power play and the Terriers did not take a penalty until 6:06 of the third.

UP NEXT
  • BU will now turn its focus to next weekend, when it will face archrival and 13th-ranked Boston College in a home-and-home series.
  • The opener will take place on Friday (Feb. 2) at Walter Brown Arena beginning at 6 p.m.
