TROY, N.Y. - The Boston University women's ice hockey team erased a pair of one-goal deficits but a late power-play goal was the difference in a 4-2 loss at Rensselaer on Friday evening at Houston Field House.

HOW IT HAPPENED

- The Engineers regained the lead just 2:20 into the middle period when Ellie Kaiser finished off a goalmouth scramble to make it a 2-1 affair.

- The Terriers made sure once again to not head into intermission with a deficit as Nearis created a 2-2 deadlcok with 2:22 to play in the middle stanza.

- Sophomore Julia Shaunessy won intercepted a puck dump in the BU zone and sent a perfect lead pass to Nearis, who created space for herself on the right side before blasting a shot past RPI netminder Amanda Rampado.

- A tripping call on Parker with 2:32 to play proved to be costly as RPI's Julia Blitz provided the game-winner on the ensuing power play.

- Mikayla Capelle added an empty-netter for the home team in the closing seconds to create the 4-2 final.
