GOAL DESCRIPTIONS
FIRST GOAL (1-0 – Boston College) FIRST PERIOD – Connor Moore – 15:30 – EVEN STRENGTH
• Connor Moore broke up a Friars rush on the right side and sent it up to Casey Carreau coming down the seam. Carreau slid it over to Mike Booth on the right dot for a one-timer and PC's Hayden Hawkey made the initial kick save but could not control the rebound. Moore chased the play and pounced on the loose carom at 15:30 to tuck away for the 1-0 lead.

SECOND GOAL (1-1 – Providence) SECOND PERIOD – Erik Foley – 8:22 – POWER PLAY
• Providence tied things up during a 4-on-4 situation after Erik Foley beat Joseph Woll with a nice move up high. Spenser Young tossed a homerun pass from the neutral zone out to Foley on the right flank and he was off to the races down the right side in a one-on-one battle. Foley skated into BC's zone and streaked towards the near post and beat Woll with a nifty wrister in the top-left corner to knot it, 1-1, at 8:22 of the second period.
