Eagles Fall to Clarkson in NCAA Quarterfinal OT Heartbreaker
March 16, 2019 | Women's Hockey
The Golden Knights scored with five minutes to play in the first overtime period.
POTSDAM, N.Y. – The No. 5/5 Boston College women's hockey team saw its season come to an end on Saturday, falling to No. 4/4 Clarkson in overtime of the NCAA Tournament quarterfinal at Cheel Arena. Elizabeth Giguere's game-winner with 5:22 to play in the first overtime gave Clarkson a 2-1 win and a spot in the Frozen Four.
The game opened evenly between the two teams but Daryl Watts broke the deadlock with 6:36 to play in the period. The Eagles kept the pressure up, outshooting the Golden Knights 14-6 in the frame.
Maddy McArthur was tested early in the middle frame, with BC sent to the box twice in the first 10 minutes, but the freshman and the defense weathered the storm to enter the second intermission still up by a score. Josiane Pozzebon, though, would tie it with just over three minutes remaining in regulation to send BC to its second consecutive overtime tilt. Both teams had great looks in the first extra frame but it would be Giguere's 26th tally of the season with 5:22 on the clock that ended it.
McArthur finished with 28 saves for BC while Kassidy Sauve had 35 for Clarkson. BC had the 36-30 edge in shots on goal. BC was 0-for-1 on the power play while Clarkson was 0-for-3.
