Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Freshman forward Krys Kolanos, who has terrorized Northeastern all season long, scored the game-winning goal at 10:34 of the third period to lead Boston College to a 3-2 victory over the Huskies in the second game of the HOCKEY EAST quarterfinal-round series at BC's Kelley Rink.
Junior goaltender Scott Clemmensen made 25 saves for the Eagles to earn his 15th win of the season.
The victory gave BC a 2-0 series sweep, advancing the Eagles to the tournament's semifinal round, which will be held at Boston's FleetCenter on Friday, March 17. Boston College (25-10-1) is the tournament's two-time defending champion.
Kolanos' goal midway through the third period gave BC its third one-goal lead of the night. Northeastern junior Matt Keating's goal at 3:44 of the final period had evened the score at 2-2.
BC senior captain Mike Mottau opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 5:32 of the first period. Northeastern (12-19-5) answered at 7:38 of the second period when Graig Mischler netted his ninth goal of the season while the Huskies enjoyed a two-man advantage. Mottau also assisted on Kolanos' game-winner, giving him 126 career assists and leaving him just one shy of David Emma's school record.
Senior Blake Bellefeuille gave BC a 2-1 lead at 18:06 of the second period. Bellefeuille also had one assist, extending his scoring streak to seven games.
Northeastern sophomore goalie Jason Braun made 32 saves.
