The Terrier women captured their second Hockey East tournament title in three years in a come-from-behind double-overtime 2-1 win against Providence at Hyannis. Captain Jenn Wakefield scored both BU goals, tying the game on an extra-attacker goal with just seven seconds left in regulation and then slapping home a rebound 2:15 into the second extra session. Marie-Philip Poulin assisted on both goals, while Isabel Menard and Kaleigh Fratkin also picked up helpers. Kerrin Sperry stopped 25 Friar shots while her counterpart, Genevieve Lacasse turned away 48 Terrier shots.
Winning the conference title brought the Terriers an autobid to the NCAA tournament. They’ll travel to Ithaca next weekend to play third-ranked Cornel in the quarterfinals. BU defeated the Big Red in the NCAA semifinal last season.
