CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Senior goaltender Scott Clemmensen recorded his 12th career shutout and classmate Brian Gionta tallied two goals and one assist to lead second-ranked Boston College to a 4-0 HOCKEY EAST victory over Providence College before a sellout crowd of 7,770 at Kelley Rink.
Four of Clemmensen's 12 shutouts have come against Providence College.
The win marked the Eagles' third consecutive shutout against PC, dating back to Jan. 23, 2000. BC has outscored the Friars, 18-0, in these games -- all in Kelley Rink.
Gionta opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 6:45 of the first period. Freshman Ben Eaves assisted on the score.
Junior Jeff Giuliano doubled the BC advantage at 8:31 of the second period, and Eaves made the score 3-0 with a goal just 13 seconds before the intermission.
Gionta concluded the scoring at 7:35 of the third period, netting his 15th goal of the season.
Clemmensen made 18 saves. PC goalie Nolan Schaefer made 32 stops.
