BOSTON - Graduate students Maddie Hudson and Caroline O'Brien each recorded a goal and an assist to help the Boston University field hockey team earn a 5-1 home win over Dartmouth on Sunday afternoon at New Balance Field.

Five different Terriers found the back of the cage as senior Alex Purcell and sophomores Rachel Turer and Lucy Johnson each scored once. Senior Bella Cloutier and freshman Jenna Park earned one assist apiece.

Senior Sophie Ortyl (2) and sophomore Anna Wilson (4) combined for six saves in goal to help BU move to 2-2 on the season.

Dartmouth, which was playing in its season opener, made 11 saves on the day between two goalkeepers and a defensive save.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Hudson put some early pressure on near the cage and drew a penalty stroke in the sixth minute.
Turer took the try and successfully deposited the ball in the top right corner for a 1-0 lead at 5:34.
BU made it 2-0 at the 12:53 mark off a turnover in the midfield as senior Olivia Hammer pushed the ball up to Hudson, who chipped it up to O'Brien in the middle of the circle, where she converted a reverse-stick drive to the netting for her second goal of the season.
The Terriers used their third corner of the contest to take a 3-0 lead as Purcell took a direct insert from Park and drilled a shot inside the near post with 9:44 left in the second quarter.
BU did not allow a shot on goal in the opening half and took the three-goal lead into the half.
A perfectly executed goal from the backfield up the right side resulted in a 4-0 lead in the final minute of the third quarter.
Junior Lily Johnson found O'Brien with a long pass to the deep right corner and the striker cut in before sending a pass towards the cage that Lucy Johnson tipped in to the far corner for a highlight-reel tally - her team-leading fifth of the season.
Hudson converted a back-and-forth play with Cloutier near the goalmouth in the 55th minute, resulting in a easy tap-in for Hudson by the right post and a 5-0 lead.
Dartmouth ended the shutout bid with a goal in the 58th minute.

GAME NOTES

Lucy Johnson and Hudson have each scored a goal in three of BU's four games this season.
Ortyl played the first three quarters in goal, stopping both shots on goal that she faced.
