WSU, SLU and CU Games
I have now seen the Terriers play three additional games since my last post. With each game I have been more impressed with the team. In the second Wayne State game they outplayed the Warriors, but due to excellent goaltending by Delayne Brian the Warriors were able to lead 1-0 after one period. In the second BU continued to apply pressure, getting the tying game in the middle of the period and taking the lead with two goal 6 seconds apart late in the period. However, the Warriors refused give up and played what I thought was their best period of the six, but Sperry and the Terriers were able to handle the pressure. I was also pleased the Bu took only 4 penalties, after taking 9 the night before.
In the SLU game both teams got off to slow starts with neither team being able to apply any pressure in the first period. In the second the Terriers asserted themselves, carrying play and pressuring the Saints, but only able to get one goal, in large part due to the play of Maxie Weisz. BU doubled the lead on another short-handed goal early in the third, but otherwise applied little pressure, despite have three powerplays, including 1:24 of 5x3. For the second straight game Sperry played well, especially in the third when she faced the most pressure. She only gave up one goal, when SLU pulled Weisz while on the powerplay for a 6x4 advantage, a move that almost backfired as BU hit the empty net post twice before the Saints finally scored. The penalty kill play very well, as it had to as BU racked up 9 penalties in the game.
On Saturday vs. Clarkson the Terriers played what I think was there best game of the season so far (I didn’t see the second UND or the Union games). Both teams got off to good starts, with the Golden Knights doing a great job of disrupting the Terriers’ offense and taking a 1-0 lead after one period. In the second BU adjusted and was able to take control of the play and pressure Clarkson for most of the period and scoring twice. Lauren Dahm made great saves all game to keep it close and I think BU did a great job of not getting frustrated and continuing to control play and apply pressure in the third after the teams exchanged early goals. Once again Sperry played well, as did the whole team on both defense and offense.
I will miss the game on Friday at Providence, and I am looking forward to November when they play 7 home games and I should be able to make it over to BC for the lone road game.
