Terriers Race Past Catamounts, 6-1

BOSTON – The Boston University women’s ice hockey team got goals from six different players and put together a thorough effort from start to finish in a 6-1 victory over Vermont in the opener of a weekend series at Walter Brown Arena on Friday evening. 

Sophomore Clara Yuhn led the way with a goal and two assists while graduate student Nadia Mattivi and sophomore Brooke Disher collected two assists apiece. Seniors Lacey Martin and Catherine Foulem, juniors Ani FitzGerald and Maggie Hanzel and sophomore Sydney Healey all found the back of the net in to push the Terriers ahead of the Catamounts in the Hockey East standings.

Junior Callie Shanahan stopped the first 14 shots she faced before Vermont scored on the last shot of the game to spoil the shutout bid.

BU moves to an even 10-10-3 overall and 8-8-1 in conference play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• FitzGerald got things started just over two minutes into the contest will an impressive individual effort as she stole the puck at the top of the right circle before skating to the dot and firing a shot past UVM netminder Jessie McPherson at the 2:18 mark.
• Foulem teamed up with freshman Alex Law for a well-executed rush to push the lead to 2-0 as Law moved the puck through the neutral zone and then dropped it off for Foulem at the top of slot before the senior created space and converted high to the blocker side with 3:15 left in the first.
• The first power play of the game came with 10.5 seconds left in the opening frame but that was enough time for the Terriers to take a 3-0 lead…
