Just 3:53 into the final frame, senior Sydney Healey scored the game-winner before adding a goal on an empty net in the final minutes to help BU earn its first win of the season, 4-2.
 
S. Healey led the Terriers with three points off two goals and an assist, while sophomore Kaileigh Quigg and freshman Lucy Theissen scored BU's first and second goals, respectively. Senior Luisa Welcke and freshman Lexie Bertelsen also made their way onto the scoresheet with one assist each. Graduate student Michelle Pasiechnyk made 27 saves between the posts.
