Strong First Period Lifts No. 3 Northeastern Past No. 10 BC
January 11, 2019 | Women's Hockey
The Huskies scored three goals in the first period and then held off a late BC rally.
BOSTON – Third-ranked Northeastern scored three goals in the first period and then held off a rally by the No. 10 Boston College women's hockey team for a 4-1 win at Matthews Arena on Friday night. Daryl Watts scored in her second consecutive game for the Eagles.
The Huskies opened the scoring at 3:21 for the early edge. With under five minutes to play in the first frame, NU scored two goals in 52 seconds for a 3-0 lead at the break.
Watts put the Eagles on the board four minutes into the second. Northeastern kept a flurry of BC opportunities at bay late in the frame for the two-goal lead after two. The Eagles kept pushing to cut the deficit, putting on a surge over the final few minutes. With Maddy McArthur on the bench for an extra-attacker, BC had a puck destined for the back of the net blocked on the goal line by Skylar Fontaine. Kassidy Anderson's empty-net goal with 6.2 seconds left sealed the win.
McArthur was strong over the final two periods, making 15 saves for a game-total of 25 while the defense in front of her finished with 26 blocks. Aerin Frankel finished with 29 saves for Northeastern. BC had the 30-29 edge in shots on goal. Northeastern was 0-for-4 on the power play while BC was 0-for-2.
