GOAL-BY-GOAL

Parker opened the scoring at the 13:11 mark of the first period. Senior Sarah Steele forced a turnover, which led to junior Victoria Bach skating out of the Maine zone and sending an outlet pass to Parker. The speedy forward did the rest, flying past a Maine defender and sending the puck past Carly Jackson (41 saves).
The Black Bears evened the score just 23 seconds into the second stanza and then took advantage of a power-play chance early in the third period to gain a 2-1 lead.
Maine then made it 3-1 at the 6:00 mark of the frame before adding another goal at the 8:54 mark to seal the result.

GAME NOTES

BU and Maine played a penalty-free first period. It was the first time the Terriers went an entire 20-minute period without taking a penalty since March 5, 2016. BU and its opponent had not worked together to stay out of the box since Feb. 27, 2016.
Parker extended her point streak to four games (3g, 5a) while Bach stretched her point streak to three games (5g, 2a).
Junior goaltender Erin O'Neil made 28 saves.
The Terriers had a 6-on-4 advantage during much of their final power play of the game as they pulled O'Neil in favor of an extra attacker, but BU was unable to find a late goal.
BU finished with 42 shots on goal.
