Women’s
Team
A pair
of third-period goals by junior Jesse Compher broke open a 1-0 game while classmate
Corinne Schroeder handled all 33 shots as #8 Terriers blanked Boston College,
4-0, in the Beanpot semifinal at Agganis Arena. BU will have an opportunity to
defend the tournament title it won a year ago when it faces Northeastern next
Tuesday.
Six
minutes into the opening period, senior Abby Cook rifled home a one-timer from the
blue line, assisted by seniors Sammy Davis and Natasza Tarnowski. The 1-0 lead held up through a scoreless
second period.
In the
first minute of the third period, junior Nara Elia broke into the Eagle zone on
a 2-on-1 with Compher, waited for the defenseman to commit and slid a pass to
her classmate for a tap-in tally. And then two minutes later, Compher struck
again when sophomore Mackenna Parker forced a neutral zone turnover. Using a
defenseman as a screen, Compher beat BC’s Maddy McArthur under the bar. Deziray
De Sousa’s empty-net goal closed the scoring.
Coach
Brian Durocher: “I’m excited about the four goals and excited that we defended
well.”
Schroeder
gave credit to her defense, noting: “The tough ones were usually the ones where
I couldn’t see the puck, they had good front-net presence there. My defense did
a good job to clear them out of the way or at least give me a sight-line so I
could see the puck.”
