Balanced Scoring Carries No. 10 BC Past UVM, 4-2
January 18, 2019 | Women's Hockey
Fey scores her first career goal while Keller, Belinskas and Newkirk also find the back of the net.
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Four different players scored for the No. 10 Boston College women's hockey team on Friday night as the Eagles topped the Vermont Catamounts at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Jillian Fey scored her first career goal in the 4-2 win while Delaney Belinskas, Makenna Newkirk and Megan Keller each scored one goal.
Belinskas and Newkirk scored 95 seconds apart to stake the Eagles to a 2-0 lead at the first intermission. BC had an 18-4 edge in shots on goal after the first 20 minutes. The Catamounts were able to capitalize on a power play early in the second and the score would hold the remainder of the period at 2-1 after two. Keller's 12th of the year early in the final frame would stand up to be the game-winner, while Fey's tally five minutes later provided a cushion. The Catamounts cut a goal back with under three to play but that would be it for the scoring.
Maddy McArthur finished with 20 saves for BC while Melissa Black had 29 for UVM. BC had a 33-22 edge in shots on goal. Vermont was 1-for-6 on the power play and BC was 0-for-2.

- 1st, 16:54 | 2-0, BC GOAL: UVM tried to clear the puck but Serena Sommerfield hustled to keep it in the zone and work it to Daryl Watts on the right wall. Watts skated towards goal and then backhanded a pass through the slot that Newkirk corralled and finished from the left hashmarks.
- 2nd, 2:25 | 2-1, UVM GOAL: A power-play opportunity for UVM saw Sammy Kolowrat glide in along the right circle and loft a wrister through traffic and inside the right post.
- 3rd, 2:50 | 3-1, BC GOAL: After picking the puck up on the left side - via a pass from Kelly Browne and a chip from Caitrin Lonergan - Keller skated into the zone and started sliding in before roofing a wrister under the cross bar from the circle.
- 3rd, 7:22 | 4-1, BC GOAL: The puck found its way to Fey on the left slide of the slot, she sent a shot back towards the net and under the crossbar, moving the water bottle on the right side of the net.
