WHAT HAPPENED

- Following a scoreless first period, BU outscored UNH 3-1 in both the second and third periods.

- Victoria Bach gave the Terriers a 1-0 lead at 7:24.

- Cassandra Vilgrain (Calgary, Alberta) tied the score 1-1 at 9:02. BU goalie Erin O'Neil stopped the initial shot from the right circle by Sara Carlson (Hutchinson, Minn.), but Vilgrain poked the puck into the net from the top of the crease. Jonna Curtis (Elk River, Minn.) was credited with the secondary assist.

- Bach struck again 47 seconds later when her shot from the slot eluded UNH netminder Vilma Vaattovaara (Veikkola, Finland).

- Rebecca Leslie extended the advantage to 3-1 with 64 seconds left in the middle stanza. Leslie, alone at the left doorstep, redirected Maddie Elia's pass from the right circle into the cage.

- Amy Schlagel (Blaine, Minn.) netted a power-play goal at 5:41 of the third period to lift UNH within 3-2. Amy Boucher (Edmonton, Alberta) won the neutral-zone faceoff back to Schlagel, who looped around to the left wing and advanced into the circle before rifling a shot under the crossbar.

- The Terriers took a 4-2 lead at 15:00 when Sarah Steele's shot from the right point was tipped in the slot by Sammy Davis.

- UNH pulled Vaattovaara in favor of an extra skater with 3:44 remaining but Davis scored an empty-net goal 49 seconds later to give BU a 5-2 lead at 17:05.

- Vaattovaara was reinserted into the game but returned to the bench with 2:46 on the clock. Elia corralled a loose puck in the high slot and deposited a shot into the empty net to close the scoring at 18:28.
