Senior goaltender Corinne Schroeder recorded her eighth career shutout for the Terriers

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - Senior Corinne Schroeder stopped all 18 shots she faced and junior Emma Wuthrich's first-period goal proved to be the winner as the Boston University women's ice hockey team defeated Merrimack, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at Lawler Rink.

BU (4-3-0, 4-3-0 HE) shut out Merrimack (1-13-0, 1-13-0 HE) for the second straight game thanks to a strong 60-minute effort. Freshman Catherine Foulem notched an empty-netter with 1:35 remaining in regulation for her first collegiate goal to seal the victory.

Junior Courtney Correia and freshman Andi Calderone provided the assists on Wuthrich's first goal of the season while senior co-captain Jesse Compher and sophomore Nadia Mattivi had the helpers on Foulem's marker.


HOW IT HAPPENED

- BU outshot the Warriors, 15-2, in the opening 20 minutes.

- Wuthrich got the Terriers on the board first just 4:44 into the proceedings. Correia chased down a puck in the offensive zone and found a trailing Wuthrich in the left circle. Wuthrich made no mistake to score her first goal of the season.

- Both teams recorded nine shots on goal in the second stanza but neither team found the back of the net.

- Schroeder maintained the Terriers' slim advantage with a nice glove stop on a 2-on-1 chance halfway through the final frame.

- The Warriors pulled goaltender Emma Gorski (31 saves) with 2:24 to play, but Foulem's goal halted any chance of a Merrimack rally.
