Box Score Highlights

BOSTON – The Boston University women's ice hockey team (3-10-0, 3-5-0 HE) defeated Providence (4-10-1, 2-4-1 HE) in a 4-1 decision on Friday evening at Walter Brown Arena.

Providence got on the board first before BU responded with a pair of goals before the close of the opening stanza. The score remained unchanged through the second period, but BU secured its victory in the third when it tacked on two goals in the final four minutes to defeat the Friars, 4-1.

Seniors Lilli Welcke, Clara Yuhn and Riley Walsh and sophomore Kaileigh Quigg found the back of the net. Seniors Maeve Kelly, Walsh and Luisa Welcke, sophomores Tessa Demain and Keira Healey and freshman Avery Supryka all registered one assist. Junior Mari Pietersen made 34 assists.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Terriers responded at 12:03 when Li. Welcke's shot from the point found the back of the net to even the score, 1-1. She was assisted by Lu. Welcke and Demain.
A little over two minutes later, Yuhn intercepted a Providence pass to charge down the slot and score, giving BU a 2-1 lead.

BU went to the box at 1:16 in the third for slashing and was once again successful on the kill.
At the 11:59 mark, the Terriers were called for too many skaters on the ice and successfully killed the penalty.
