Bentley Takes First-Ever Meeting with Boston College
November 23, 2018 | Men's Hockey
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Bentley ended Boston College's four-game unbeaten streak with a 4-2 victory on Friday afternoon at Kelley Rink in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
Â
The Falcons scored a pair of unassisted power play goals in the second period, out-shooting BC 13-4 in the frame, and extended their lead early in the third. Boston College cut the deficit to one through David Cotton and Oliver Wahlstrom, but a lengthy empty-netter with 1:07 left on the clock secured the win for Bentley.
Â
The Eagles out-shot the Falcons 11-5 in the third period and 25-21 for the game. Bentley went 2-for-6 against a BC penalty kill that was 18-for-19 during the four-game unbeaten run.
Cotton, who entered the day tied for the NCAA lead in goals per game, netted his team-high 10th goal in 10 contests and extended his goal-scoring streak to five games. Logan Hutsko pushed his point streak to six games with an assist on the afternoon.
Â
SCORING
6:57 2nd, Bentley Goal (0-1) | A loose puck deflected out to Tanner Jago at the left point, and his effort immediately ramped off a BC stick into the upper right corner to open the scoring
Â
19:00 2nd, Bentley Goal (0-2) | Jonathan Desbiens fed a pass to Will Garin at the top of the left circle and his one-timer was blocked by Jesper Mattila, but Garin followed with a first-time snapshot that beat Joseph Woll to double the lead
Â
2:55 3rd, Bentley Goal (0-3) | Matt Lombardozzi stepped into a Boston College clearance up the left wing boards and stung a one-timer through a screen that found its way past Woll on a deflection
Â
8:59 3rd, BC Goal (1-3) |Â Hutsko curled up the left wing half-wall and laid a pass to the center point for Michael Kim, whose one-timer was tipped into the upper half of the net by Cotton for his 10th of the season and seventh in the last five games
Â
18:29 3rd, BC Goal (2-3) | Wahlstrom pounced on a loose puck off the end boards as he followed Casey Fitzgerald's one-timer near the left post and jammed it home to cut the Falcons' lead down to one with an extra attacker
Â
18:53 3rd, Bentley Goal (2-4) | Jake Kauppila found an empty BC net from his defensive blue line just 24 seconds after Wahlstrom's tally to seal the win
