The Boston University Terriers women's ice hockey represent Boston University. The Terriers play in the Hockey East conference. Finishing their 10th season as a D-I varsity team, the Terriers have won five Hockey East Championships and have made six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
2015-16 Season On November 3, 2015, Russo set the Boston University Terriers women’s ice hockey record for most assists in one game, with five against Yale.
2013-14 Season An Olympic year, the Terriers would be forced to play without star Olympian Marie-Philip Poulin. But despite their frustrating loss in the NCAA Championship game, the team went on to complete an undefeated year in Walter Brown for the entirety of 2013 and the first half of the 2013-14 season, playing 20 undefeated games at Walter Brown Arena. The streak was broken on January 8, 2014 with a 4-1 loss to rival Boston College. The loss shook the Terriers and the team suffered a four-game losing streak between January 17-25. Despite being swept by Boston College at the conclusion of the regular season, BU entered the post season guns blazing and defeated Providence and Northeastern in two 3-2 decisions to advance to the Hockey East Championships against Regular Season Champions Boston College. BU entered the third period of the championship game down 2-1, after a rough second period marred by penalties for the Terriers. Early in the third, a goaltender interference penalty on BC opened up BU's chance and senior Louise Warren managed to fire a shot past the Eagle's senior goaltender, Corrine Boyles to tie the game at 2-2. Five minutes later, freshman Maddie Elia fired a shot from sophomore Rebecca Russo to beat Boyles and give the Terriers a 3-2 lead. BU held on for the remainder of the game and clinched its third consecutive and fourth total Hockey East Championship. Senior Kerrin Sperry was selected as MVP for the second straight year, the second WHEA player to ever receive back-to-back honors.
Winning the Hockey East Championship gave the Terriers the opportunity to advance to its fifth consecutive NCAA Quarterfinal game, but their low seed required them to play versus top-ranked Minnesota for a rematch of the 2013 championship game. BU could not enact revenge versus Minnesota and dropped the contest 5-1. BU's lone goal came at the hands of Sophomore Sarah Lefort in the first period. Lefort's goal was her 32nd of the season, making her the league leader in goals for the season. Senior Kerrin Sperry made 41 saves in the loss, ending her collegiate career with a program-record 85 wins and 13 shutouts. BU finished their season at 24-13-1.
2012-13 Season
The Terriers rolled into the 12-13 season with a 7-1-0 start in the first month, with the lone loss coming in the form of another sting from Cornell, a 5-2 loss played in Agganis Arena. BU would get revenge in the following game, 5-1. The Terriers proceeded to go undefeated in Walter Brown in the new year, ending their regular season with an impressive 8-game win streak. BU proceeded to trounce Providence 4-0 in the Hockey East Semifinals and Northeastern 5-2 in the Hockey East Championship Game to repeat as champions, BU's third total. Junior Kerrin Sperry was selected as MVP, holding the record for least goals allowed in the Hockey East Tournament with three goals over three appearances.
