Nothing cures a team’s offensive woes quite like a dose of Sacred Heart University.

The Boston University women’s ice hockey team (11-6-1, 3-5-1 Hockey East) took full advantage of a porous Pioneers defense Saturday at Walter Brown Arena, posting a laughable 8-0 victory.

Eleven Terriers recorded at least one point, led by forward Erin Seman’s pair of first period tallies. The eight goals is the highest single-game output in the abbreviated history of the program.

The offensive explosion allowed Seman and linemates Cara Hendry and Melissa Anderson to extend their individual scoring streaks. Hendry has now earned a point in eight straight games, while Seman and Anderson have gone five consecutive contests with at least one point.

The victory gives BU 11 wins heading into the winter break, highlighted by an 8-1-0 mark against non-conference opponents. Last season’s edition of the Terriers had 12 total victories.

‘It’s been a good first half of the season, we played extremely well at times,’ said BU coach Brian Durocher. ‘Our team is headed in the right direction.’

The loss for Sacred Heart snapped the club’s two-game winning streak, dropping the Pioneers to 6-11-0.

BU’s Melissa Haber (4-1-1) had a minimal workload between the pipes, registering just four saves for her third shutout of the season. In contrast, counterpart Stephanie Boulay (2-9-0) faced a whopping 42 shots while stopping 34.

In an effort to generate offense from the secondary units, Durocher started the fourth line of Stephanie Armstrong, Jessica Lortie and Catherine Foley.

‘You try to start different lines during the course of the year,’ Durocher said. ‘It’s something that really gets the players excited to play.’

The move paid immediate dividends for Armstrong, who scored her first goal of the year in the second period.

The first period, though, belonged to Seman. The sophomore put the Terriers on the board with a power-play goal at 4:18. She struck again with the man advantage at 12:11, blasting a one-timer by Boulay after taking a feed from Anderson, who was stationed behind the net.

‘It was pretty sweet,’ said Seman of the first-period performance. ‘That first goal was kind of embarrassing for me and [Boulay]. I couldn’t believe it went in.’

Seman now has 18 points through 17 games. Last season, she accumulated 18 total points in 31 appearances. Durocher attributes the vast improvement to a pair of issues, specifically Seman’s improved workout regimen and sharp decline in penalty minutes.

Riding the momentum from a 2-0 lead after one period, the Terriers continued the offensive onslaught in the second stanza. Following Armstrong’s tally at 4:12, BU scored twice in a 21-second stretch to secure the lopsided win. Defenseman Amanda Shaw got into the scoring column at 6:21, streaking in from the far circle and flipping a high shot over Boulay. In matter of moments, Anderson fired home a slapshot between the faceoff circles to give the Terriers a 5-0 cushion going into the final session.

Forward Gina Kearns added to the Pioneers’ misery midway through the third period. Amid a scuffle in the Sacred Heart zone, the sophomore collected a loose puck and ripped a wrister to beat Boulay.

Freshman Lynn Hillen earned her first collegiate tally over a minute later with a snipe from the far circle that cleared Boulay’s legs.

‘It was really satisfying,’ Hillen said of the milestone goal. ‘It helped that I didn’t have to battle a lot of defenders to score.’

Caroline Bourdeau’s power-play tally with just under two minutes left in regulation put the finishing touches on the BU victory. Bourdeau finished with a goal and three assists while collecting a game-high four points.

The dominating performance seemed to satisfy the Terriers in every facet of the game, including the stat sheet.

‘It’s always nice to get those stats up,’ Seman joked. ‘But can be hard to keep 100 percent focus when you’re playing a team of [Sacred Heart’s] level.’

‘We were happy to get another win,’ Durocher said. ‘But what really impressed me was that we held Sacred Heart to single digit shots [4].’

BU will break until Jan. 5-6, when the team travels to St. Cloud State University for a two-game non-league series. But beginning Jan. 11 with a visit to the University of Connecticut, the Terriers play their final 14 contests against Hockey East foes.

‘We have yet to prove ourselves in Hockey East,’ Seman said. ‘I’m really looking forward to the second half so we can get revenge on the teams that beat us.’
