The Terriers lost Victoria Bach who graduated with 67 points last season and 198 career points for the most in program history. A 2017-18 Hockey East First Team All-Star, Bach now plays with former Vermont captain Gina Repaci '16 on the CWHL's Markham Thunder. Sophomore Jesse Compher leads the Terriers now with 11 points on four goals and a team-high seven assists. Sammy Davis is the team's leading goal scorer with six markers through eight games.
