Providence, R.I. – No. 2/3 Boston College women’s hockey (7-0-1, 3-0-0 WHEA) defeated Hockey East opponent Providence, 4-1, Saturday night to complete the sweep of the Friars. With their Saturday night victory, the Eagles have swept their second series of the season.

Grieves added her second goal of the night off of a pass from graduate student Danielle Doherty to the slot to extend BC’s lead to 2-0 at the halfway point of the first period. The Eagles headed into the first intermission carrying a 2-0 lead over Providence.
