January 25, 2019 | Women's Hockey
Delaney Belinskas scored twice while Megan Keller notched three points to set a new Hockey East single-season scoring record by a defender.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Delaney Belinskas scored twice and Megan Keller added a goal and two assists, as the No. 9/9 Boston College women's hockey team topped Providence College, 4-2, on Friday afternoon at Kelley Rink.

The Friars had evened the score at 1-1 by the end of the first but Belinskas scored again midway through the second – her sixth goal in the last four contests – and Keller net the eventual-game winner four minutes later. Caitrin Lonergan's goal at 4:18 of the third pushed BC's lead out to three goals before the Friars capitalized on a power play with 20 seconds remaining.
Maddy McArthur finished with 21 saves for BC while Madison Myers had 24 for Providence. The Eagles held a 28-23 edge in shots on goal. The Friars went 1-for-5 on the power play and BC was 0-for-3.
