Women’s Team
The # 4 Terriers’ sweep of Connecticut this weekend, combined with BC’s Friday night tie with Vermont, earned BU the regular-season Hockey East title, the second in the seven years of the women’s program.

Saturday, on senior night, BU spotted the Huskies a 5-1 in the first 23 minutes before roaring back for six unanswered goals and 7-5 win.  Senior Jenelle Kohanchuk and freshman Sarah Lefort (photo) each tallied twice for the Terriers, with sophomore Kayla Tutino scoring the game-winner early in the third period.

On Sunday, BU took a 2-1 first period lead, which it extended to 4-1 before UConn scored with seconds left in the game for a 4-2 win that clinched the conference title. Lefort scored twice again for a team-leading 19, while Kohanchuk tallied her 18th along with a pair of assists.

The win gave was BU’s 18th in league play, the most regular-season conference wins since UNH won 20 games in 07-08.

BU will host Connecticut in a Hockey East quarterfinal game on March 2 at 3 p.m.
