2010 NCAA quarterfinalist Boston University isn’t rebuilding, it’s reloading … and then some.<\/p>\n
On the heels of their most successful season to date, the Terriers are including 2010 Canadian Olympic stars Catherine Ward and Marie-Philip Poulin among their newest members, according to a source within the program. The duo — which helped the Canadian national team best the Americans 2-0 in the finals in February — join New Hampshire transfer Jenn Wakefield in a gold-medal trio on coach Brian Durocher’s roster.<\/p>\n
