Men’s Hockey
The men’s hockey team completely dominated Maine on Thursday night, picking up a 6-2 victory. Unfortunately, on Friday night the Eagles (who were without Drew Helleson and Marshall Warren) tied the Black Bears 2-2 before “losing” in the shootout - the game counts as a tie, but the shootout winner gets an extra point in the standings. Read our full recaps here and here.
Women’s Hockey
The Eagles went 1-1 this weekend, defeating Holy Cross and then falling to BU.
The Eagles started out with a 2-0 lead against Holy Cross as Kelly Browne scored at 2:50 in the first and then Gaby Roy scored at 2:16 in the second. Holy Cross closed out the second period with a pair of goals to tie the game, but Abby Newhook retook the BC lead with an unassisted goal early in the third, and Kelly Browne scored her second goal of the game late in the period to secure a 4-2 victory. Abigail Levy made 37 saves in the win.
On Sunday, despite Levy’s best efforts and 40 (!!) saves, the Eagles fell to BU by a score of 5-4. The Terriers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead under 5 minutes into the game, but Caroline DiFiore and Sidney Fess closed the period out with goals to tie the game up. BU scored the only goal of the second period, but Caroline Goffredo tied things at 3 just 22 seconds into the third. BU retook the lead at 4:32 but Kelly Browne tied things up on the power play 3 minutes later. Unfortunately for BC, the Terriers scored the only other goal of the game to earn the win.
