BU Women Avenge UConn Loss with 4-1 Thumping of Providence

 

No keeping a good team down. The No. 14 BU Terriers bounced back from last night's disappointing loss to UConn and scored four 3rd-period goals against unranked Providence to get back in the win column. 

Trailing 1-0, Sydney Healey scored first with an even-strength goal and then ten minutes later she finished the 3rd period bloodshed with an open-net goal. In between, Maeve Carey scored the game-winning even-strength goal and Alex Law scored a short-handed goal during a Providence power play. Mari Pietersen was in the net today and made 36 saves (.973). 

With the win, the Terriers open their first-place Hockey East lead over UConn to four points. 

Next weekend, the Terriers will play a hone-and-away series against 14-14-1 New Hampshire, seventh in Hockey East (10-12-0).
