BU 3, Providence 1

 

Let's hear it for the women! Last night, the USA Women's Hockey Team beat Canada for the Gold Medal in the Olympics, and tonight the Boston University Terriers women's team beat Providence, 3-1.

The Friars (really? they call the women's team The Friars?) scored first and took a 1-0 lead into the second period. But then the Terriers' Lexie Bertelsen scored late in the second and Kelly Maeve added a power-play goal in the third. Luisa Welcke hit an empty netter in the last minute of play, and that was the it for the Friarettes.   

BU improves to 10-19-3 overall and 8-13-2 in Hockey East. Tomorrow, they take the T up Comm Ave all the way to Chestnut Hill where they will play the hated rival Boston College Eagles. Let's get a late-season streak going!
