The Terriers came into the weekend with a spot at the top of the standings, having earned 23 points so far from a conference record of 7-1-1.

Since then, the team has bounced back and was undefeated in the nine games leading up to Friday night’s.
Last weekend, the team played Merrimack twice, winning the first game 5-1 before playing to a 3-3 draw in the second meeting. Lindsay Bochna opened the scoring in the first period to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead. Luisa Welcke added to that lead two minutes later. Merrimack got on the board just before the end of the first and tied things up late in the second to take a 1-1 draw into the third period. Neely Nicholson gave the Terriers a 3-2 lead early in the third, but another goal from Merrimack just a few minutes later kept the game square at three until the final whistle. Callie Shanahan played between the pipes for BU and made five saves on the night in net.
