Women’s Team 

Terriers combined a goal in each period with continued lights-out goaltending by junior Corinne Schroeder to earn a solid 3-1 road win over Maine on Sunday.

Junior Kristina Schuler put BU on the board just a minute into the contest, cleaning up a loose puck in front of the net following Nara Elia’s deflection attempt on Breanna Scarpaci’s blast. Maine would cut into the lead just 13 seconds later.

Midway through the second period, BU doubled the lead. Elia skated out of the right corner and backhanded a pass across the crease to Kaleigh Donnelly for a tap-in.

Aided by two power plays, the Black Bears pressed for an equalizer, but Schroeder turned aside 16 shots in the final period for a total of 27. Courtney Correia closed out the scoring with an empty-net goal, assisted by Donnelly and Abby Cook.



“Corinne was real solid even though we didn’t have her quite as busy as Friday against UConn,” Coach Brian Durocher said of Schroeder’s performance. “Maine had some pretty good looks and she had to make some real good saves today.”
