DURHAM, N.H. – The No. 14 Boston University women's ice hockey team (14-7-1, 11-4-1 HE) dropped a 2-0 decision at New Hampshire (12-11-1, 8-9-0 HE).
 
UNH went up 1-0 about halfway into the first frame to secure a lead it never relinquished. UNH went on the power play twice in the second and BU successfully killed both, but the momentum from UNH's second power play early in the third helped it secure the 2-0 win.
 
Senior Callie Shanahan made 22 saves in the loss.
