After yielding six goals in the 7-6 over-time win against Northeastern in the first round of the Beanpot, freshman goalie Alison Kuusisto rebounded with a stellar performance. Kuusisto shutout B.C. and its prolific scorer, captain Erin MaGee. Kuusisto staved off all 19 shots on goal.
"Alison did a great job," said Coach Katey Stone. "She just gets better every game. She's stopping better shots and harder shots and getting great experience."
Let's Get Physical
:Senior forward Jen Gerometta made sure that she brought her physical game with her to Northeastern last night. Known for her tough, aggressive style of play, Gerometta sent one Eagle defender crashing into the boards with a resounding thud. The Boston College player exited the game hurt in the second period.
Gerometta's hit certainly did not go unnoticed by the B.C. women, who began to target Gerometta as the third period wore on.
"We basically wore them down physically by the end of the game," said Gerometta. "They started getting cheap at the end there, taking some shots."
Slammed
Earlier in the evening, Northeastern cruised to a 15-0 consolation game victory against Boston University. Husky goalie Jennifer Buckley had to save just one shot on net over three periods of play.
