BC, UNH Skate to Tie in Final Regular Season Contest
February 23, 2019 | Women's Hockey
The 3-3 deadlock marked the first tie of the season for the Eagles.
DURHAM, N.H. – The No. 7/7 Boston College women's hockey team battled to a 3-3 overtime tie at the University of New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon at the Whittemore Center. Erin Connolly potted the game-tying goal midway through the third period to pull the Eagles even and help BC finish the regular season at 23-10-1 overall and 19-7-1 in Hockey East play. With the tie, BC secured the second overall seed in the Hockey East Tournament and will now host seventh-seeded UConn next weekend in a best-of-three quarterfinal series.
Just 49 seconds into the game, Lindsay Agnew potted her fourth short-handed goal of the season and then 15 minutes later, a Kali Flanagan power-play strike gave BC a 2-0 lead. Before the end of the period, though, UNH would score its first of three unanswered goals to hold a 3-2 lead after two. Down but not out, Connolly's fifth of the year midway through the third period pulled the Eagles back even. Neither team could find the back of the net in overtime.
Maddy McArthur finished with 20 saves for BC while Kyra Smith had 31 for UNH. Both BC (1-for-4) and UNH (1-for-5) converted on the power play while the Eagles had the 34-23 edge in shots on goal.
