Anastos Matches NCAA Record in UConn Win
October 28, 2016 | Women's Hockey
Eagles' captain nets three power-play goals in the 3-0 road victory
STORRS, Conn. – Senior captain Andie Anastos matched the NCAA record for power-play goals in a game and led the No. 4 Boston College women's hockey team to a 3-0 road win at Connecticut on Friday night at the Freitas Ice Forum.
Anastos' second career hat trick was composed entirely of power-play goals, matching the NCAA single-game record held by eight other players.
Katie Burt made 17 saves in her second shutout of the season, which was also the 25th shutout of her career. Burt now sits tied for eighth with three other players in NCAA history for career shutouts.
Makenna Newkirk registered three assists on the night, helping set up all three goals.
BC (5-2-2, 4-1-0 HEA) out-shot the Huskies 46-17 on the night, with the 46 shots representing the team's highest output yet this season. Connecticut (4-3-1, 0-1-0 HEA) entered the game with a 94.4 penalty-kill percentage but the Eagles went 3-for-5 on the man-advantage on the night.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- 1st, 18:02 | 1-0, BC GOAL (PPG) – The Eagles netted their 13th power-play goal of the season on their second attempt of the night to break the scoreless deadlock late in the first. The Eagles kept the puck in the zone as UConn attempted to clear and Makenna Newkirk got it along the near boards where she played Caitrin Lonergan down low. As the Eagles cycled, Andie Anastos came free in the slot and placed Lonergan's pass in the upper corner on UConn goaltender Andie Belanger's glove side.
- 2nd, 7:28 | 2-0, BC GOAL (PPG) – BC worked the puck along the blue line and Toni Ann Miano connected with Newkirk on the half boards. With traffic in front, Newkirk threw the puck into the slot where it kicked off Anastos and past Belanger for the 2-0 advantage.
- 2nd, 18:23 | 3-0, BC GOAL (PPG) – Anastos picked her third goal of the game and the Eagles' third on the man-advantage as the second period wound down. Anastos won the first faceoff after the call and played it to Makenna Newkirk inside, who took the space in the slot. Anastos came in on the left side and created enough space for Newkirk to play her in and then spanned a wrist shot off high for the 3-0 lead.
GAME NOTES

- Anastos now has 47 career goals and 109 career points … she is four points back of 11th place on the BC career scoring chart, currently held by Mary Restuccia '12 (113 points) and 16 points back of 10th place Laura Traynham '97 (125 points)
- Anastos pushed her career power-play goal total to 11, which is four back of ninth place on the BC career chart
- This was Anastos' second career hat trick and first since Feb. 20, 2016 at Providence – which was part of a four-point afternoon
