UConn 2, BU 0

 

Not to sound like copium, but it's a victory of sorts for the unranked BU Terriers women's team to hold the No. 6 UConn Huskies scoreless in the first period, and then limit them to only one goal in each the second and third periods.

But it's also the fourth straight loss for the Terriers, who've lost to four different teams in that stretch.

The Terriers fall to 9-19-3 overall and are tied for eighth place with Providence at 25 points in Hockey East action. They play Providence (11-19-2) next Saturday to sort that out, and then will end the regular season with a Saturday afternoon game against BC. 

All teams make the Hockey East post-season tournament, so the Terriers will have at least one more game after that. Given their low standing in the conference, they'll be seeded against a top team, probably UConn or No. 14 Holy Cross, so I don't expect too many more games after BC.
