STORRS, Conn. – Savannah Norcross scored with just over a minute remaining in the third period to lift the No. 6/6 Boston College women's hockey team to a 2-1 victory over UConn on Saturday afternoon at the Freitas Ice Forum.
Cayla Barnes gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead six minutes into the game with her fourth goal of the season. UConn evened the score up 59 seconds into the middle frame and would keep pushing for a lead but BC was able to kill off two late penalties and Maddy McArthur made 10 stops in the period.
The Eagles fired 17 shots on goal in the final frame, but it would take until the final 90 seconds for one to go in, with Norcross tucking home the game-winning goal with 1:11 remaining on the clock.
McArthur finished with 20 saves for BC while Morgan Fisher had 28 stops for UConn. BC had the 30-21 lead in shots on goal while neither BC (0-for-3) or UConn (0-for-2) converted on the power play.
