January 26, 2019 | Women's Hockey
Lindsay Agnew scored the short-handed, game-winning goal two minutes into the third period.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The No. 9/9 Boston College women's hockey team skated to a 4-2 win over Providence on Saturday afternoon at Schneider Arena. Lindsay Agnew scored two goals, including the game-winner, while Megan Keller, Daryl Watts and Makenna Newkirk each picked up two points.
Goals from Newkirk and Agnew had the Eagles up, 2-0, just 2:26 into middle frame but two Providence power-play goals, two minute apart later in the period made it a tie game at the second intermission.
Agnew's second score of the game grabbed the lead back for the Eagles two minutes into the final stanza and then Caitrin Lonergan sealed the win on the power-play three minutes after that.
Maddy McArthur finished with 22 saves for BC while Madison Myers had 27 for Providence. The Eagles held a 31-24 edge in shots on goal. The Friars went 2-for-4 on the power play and BC was 1-for-4.

- 2nd, 2:26 | 2-0, BC GOAL: Keller danced around a PC player at the blue line to get the puck into the zone and then slid a pass left to Watts in the slot. Watts in turn found Agnew at the bottom of the left circle for a finish inside the left post.
