CANTON, N.Y.-Three Saints had two goal games as the St. Lawrence University women's hockey team routed visiting Boston College 10-2 at Appleton Arena on Sunday afternoon. Trisha Powers, Meghan Maguire and Chera Marshall each picked up two goals as the Saints (14-4-3, 10-2-2 ECAC) tallied five goals in the final stanza defeat the Eagles (5-19-0, 1-16-0).
The game was just 48 seconds old when Powers cleaned up a rebound from an Amanda Sargeant shot to give the Saints a 1-0 lead. Boston College answered with two goals to take brief 2-1 lead. Melissa Tower's slapshot from the point found its way in at 4:37 and Gen Richardson ripped a wrister from the slot to beat Caryn Ungewitter high at 9:19 to give the Eagles the 2-1 lead. Assisting on the Eagles first goal was Kaitlin McGrath and Missy Barsz and Thia Connolly assisted on the second.
St. Lawrence took little time in getting the game even and then taking the lead. Maguire got credit for a goal that was deflected in by a BC defender at 10:36. Powers gave the Saints the lead with her second goal of the game just 17 seconds later, scoring on assists from Sargeant and Shannon Smith. Marshall extended the lead to 4-2 with a third-effort rebound to notch a power-play score at 18:47.
In a second period marked by seven combined penalties, four on BC and three on St. Lawrence, Smith accounted for the only goal. Smith deflected a Maguire slapshot from the point over the right-shoulder of BC goalie Amy Coletta, who came in to relieve Van Tuyl at the beginning of the second period. The goal was the Saints second power-play tally of the game and came at 18:49 of the period.
The Saints turned up the offensive attack in the third period as they tacked on five more goals. Marshall, Suzanne Fiacco, Sargeant, Caroline Trudeau and Maguire each scored in the final stanza, giving St. Lawrence the 10-2 win. The Saints final three goals came in a span of just 65 seconds.
The Eagles will next face cross town rival Northeastern on Wed. Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. at Matthews Arena, Boston.
