BOSTON - Boston University women's hockey topped the Université de Moncton 5-1 in an exhibition game Friday night at Walter Brown Arena.

BU registered the first goal of the game on a power-play chance from junior Andi Calderone. Senior Brooke Ersoy extended the lead to 2-0 before freshman Brooke Disher lit the lamp to solidify the gap 3-0 by the end of the first period.

Moncton came back to score a goal early in the second period, but the Terriers held steady. After fending off the Blue Eagles for the rest of the period, BU extended its lead in the third. Goals from freshman Sydney Healey and senior Julia Nearis solidified the 5-1 win for BU.

- With an extra attacker on the ice, Nearis knocked the puck into the net to close out the scoring with helpers from Foulem and Vote.
