After competing in two games during the preliminary rounds of the International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship, BU women’s hockey sophomore assistant captain Marie-Philip Poulin has tallied two points, helping the Canadian National team to a 1-1 record.

In their first game of the tournament, the Canadians fell to Team USA 9-2 on Saturday. Team USA scored five goals in the first five and a half minutes during the blowout. Poulin had one of Canada’s two goals, which she scored during the second period.

Poulin also played a part in Canada’s 3-2 win over Finland on Sunday. The Beauceville, Quebec, native earned an assist on forward Caroline Ouellette’s goal, Canada’s second of the game.

Poulin is one of three players representing BU in the tournament. Senior captain Jenn Wakefield and former Terrier defenseman Catherine Ward are also playing for the Canadian National Team.

Men’s Crew

The No. 12 Boston University men’s crew team lost its first race of the dual season to No. 10 Northeastern University, which took all three races on the Charles River. With the loss in the Varsity Eight race, the Terriers surrendered the Arlett Cup to the Huskies after winning the cup last season.

“We were disappointed,” said BU coach Thomas Bohrer. “Overall we know we have a lot we can improve upon for the next race, so we can only put it behind us right now and start working toward next week.”

With senior Bobby McGee coxing and sophomore Moritz Franz stroking, BU’s Varsity Eight lineup remained tight with Northeastern for most of the race before falling behind in the final stretch. BU finished the race only 1.7 seconds behind Northeastern, which won with a time of 6:01.5.

BU’s Second Varsity unit did not fare much better against Northeastern’s squad, as it lost to the Huskies by 7.7 seconds.

The Terriers’ Second Varsity team finished the race with a time of 6:21.9, which was trailed by the BU Third Varsity team, which raced at the same time. Northeastern did not race a Third Varsity squad, so BU’s Third Varsity team found itself in last place of the Second Varsity race with a time of 6:31.4

Rounding out the races on the day was the Freshman Eight race, which was the Terrier freshmen’s first dual meet of their careers. The freshman race was the closest of the morning, but once again BU fell short, this time by only 0.8 seconds. Freshman Lauren Harvey coxed the team while classmate Kevin Jones stroked for the young squad.

“They learned a lot from it and I think our freshmen are pretty good this year,” Bohrer said. “They don’t have a ton of experience and they made a couple mistakes. . . . It was disappointing but I think they learned a lot from that race.”

The crew team will look to bounce back from this early-season loss when it travels to Hanover, N.H., on Saturday in a meet with No. 15 Dartmouth College and Rutgers University.

“Dartmouth is a good crew this year and we don’t take anybody lightly,” Bohrer said. “We are going to have to prepare mentally and physically for this race.”

Women’s golf

The BU women’s golf team finished eighth of nine squads at the Brown University Invitational on Sunday and Monday, totaling a final score of plus-121 for the tournament.

Freshman Kristyna Pavlickova was the best Terrier, improving her score by 12 strokes during the second day. Pavlickova shot an 87 in the first round before shooting a 75 in the second and securing her 18th-place finish.

Senior Courtney Dampolo was second best on the team and 33rd best in the tournament, as she shot plus-26 over the two days. Like Pavlickova, she improved her score over the two days, jumping from 89 to 81.

The team will look to bounce back from this result in the Roar-EE Invitational, which starts Friday.
