BU Eliminated from Postseason with 3-1 Loss to Clarkson

The No. 11, Hockey East-champion Boston University Terriers (24-12-2) ended its postseason with a 3-1 loss to No. 9 Clarkson (25-12-2) in the NCAA Women's Semifinals in Wisconsin.

 

All the action in the game was at the start and at the very end. The rest was pretty uneventful. Clarkson scored two goals in the first 5:30 of the game. But then both teams went scoreless for most of the rest of the next three periods. In the Third, still trailing 2-0, BU pulled goalie Callie Shanahan (27 saves) with 4:18 left to play, and Lindsay Bochna scored BU's only goal just 17 seconds later. However, BU couldn't tie it up, and then Clarkson scored an empty-net goal with under a minute to play to seal the game.

It's been a great season for the Terriers. Despite the loss in the national Semifinals, they're still the Hockey East champions and have earned a lot of respect from the teams they've played. Thanks for the exciting season and great hockey, Terriers!
