How It Happened
  • Opening with an up-tempo first period, teams got to work generating opportunities. Merrimack's defense started the game off strong with a penalty kill, before working 11 opportunities on goal. Teghan Inglis rang a shot off the pipe with four to play in the first, keeping the game scoreless.
  • Sophomore Ally Qualley earned the Warriors' second penalty shot opportunity of the season at 3:30 of the second period. Shorthanded, she carried the puck into the zone and was hauled down for the opportunity, which was stopped by BU to uphold the stalemate.
  • In the third, Hannah Corneliusen gave the Warriors a lead. Julia MacLean brought the puck out of the defensive zone, sending a pass to Emily Oosterveld, who sent it to the slot where it was touched by BU before Corneliusen snagged the puck. She finished with a shot in low as she approached the goal mouth for the first of her career.
  • BU tied the game with four minutes to play in the third, capturing a rebound opportunity. The Terriers took the overtime winner on a rebound that was cleared out to the circle for the shot.
