CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The No. 4/4 Boston College women's hockey team fell to rival Boston University, 3-2, on Friday night at Kelley Rink.
The Terriers opened the scoring, converting on the power play just over six minutes into the first. BC had several looks in the rest of the period including a 5-on-3 late in the frame that saw the team put four shots on goal but Kate Stuart made all four saves.
After trading some penalties early in the second, the Eagles and Terriers found themselves in 4-on-4 action and BC was able to capitalize on the extra space as Daryl Watts pulled BC even on her 10th of the year. However two power-play goals in the first 15 minutes of the third period made it 3-1 in favor of the visitors. Makenna Newkirk scored late in the third and BC pulled Maddy McArthur for an extra attacker but couldn't net the equalizer.
Kate Stuart finished with 42 saves for the Terriers while McArthur had 13 for the Eagles. BC held the 44-16 edge in shots on goal but went 0-for-7 on the power play while BU went 3-for-8.
