Colgate 4, BU 3

 

Remember Emma Pais, the toothpaste queen who scored twice against BU on Friday night? Well, she scored twice again in the second period on Saturday night to give No. 8 Colgate a 2-0 lead over over No. 14 BU in game two of the Terriers' weekend road series. 

The Terriers responded and tied the game back up on goals by Kaileigh Quigg and Clara Yuhn in the third. Colgate pulled back ahead with a goal midway through the final period, but BU's Sydney Healey wasn't having any of that shit and tied the game back up within the next minute.  However, Colgate wasn't having any of that shit either, and retook the lead a minute after Healey's score. Three goals within a little over two minutes. Exciting stuff and an indicator of the intensity of this game, but that was it for the scoring and BU lost, 4-3.

Michelle Pasiechnyk was in the net for BU last night and saved 38 of 42 shots (.905) in her second start of the season.

So the Terriers, with their brutal schedule that has them playing two sets of games against the No. 3- and No. 8-ranked teams in the country, start their season 0-4-0. However, it should be noted that the two games agaisnt Colgate were particularly close  - both losses were by a single score - and with just a little luck, the Terriers might have, could have, won either, or both.

Next Friday, things will get a little easier as the Terriers play a non-conference game at home against unranked Brown University ("What color is horse shit? Brown, brown, brown!") before starting their Hockey East conference schedule.
