THE RUNDOWN

Final Score: UConn 2, Boston University 1
Records: BU (11-6-1, 7-6-0 WHEA), UConn (9-6-3, 4-3-1 WHEA)
Location: Walter Brown Arena - Boston, Mass.

GOAL-BY-GOAL

- UConn opened the scoring with a power-play marker late in the first period.

- Davis responded with a power-play goal of her own 4:37 into the second period. Freshman Abby Cook cycled the puck to senior co-captain Alexis Crossley. She fired a shot towards goal, and Davis was in the right spot for a redirection and her sixth goal of the season.

- The Huskies responded with a shorthanded goal from Marisa Maccario 57 seconds later that proved to be the game-winner.

GAME NOTES

- Davis extended her point streak to four games (2g, 3a) with her goal.

- Senior goaltender Victoria Hanson made 23 saves.

- Hanson and the Terriers had their respective six-game win streaks snapped.

- Graduate student Mary Parker saw her incredible nine-game goal streak come to an end. Her 10-game point streak also ended.

- That was the Huskies' first win over the Terriers in 22 tries. BU entered the afternoon 20-0-1 against UConn, a streak that began with a victory in the 2010 Hockey East title game.

UP NEXT

- The Terriers will host No. 2 Minnesota for a weekend series at Walter Brown Arena, the first time the teams will meet in Boston. Friday's game is set for 7 p.m.
