No. 16 Eagles Fall 4-2 on the Road to No. 20 UMass Lowell
November 13, 2021 | Men's Hockey
LOWELL, Mass. – No. 20 UMass Lowell scored twice in the third period to snap a 2-2 deadlock and held off 16th-ranked Boston College for a 4-2 Hockey East victory on Saturday night at the Tsongas Center.
Â
The Eagles fell to 6-5-1 overall and 4-3-0 in league play, while the River Hawks remained undefeated in Hockey East at 4-0-0 and improved to 6-1-2 overall.
Â
Linemates Trevor Kuntar and Marc McLaughlin had the goals for BC, which was out-shot for the first time in 11 games by a total of 37-26. Andre Lee led the way for UMass Lowell with a pair of goals.
Â
Lowell struck first with five minutes to go in the opening period when Lee tipped a Nick Austin point shot inside the left post, just past the right pad of Eric Dop (33 saves). Ben Meehan whipped a weak angle shot into the net on the power play at 6:28 of the second to double the River Hawks' lead.
Â
Kuntar put the Eagles on the board at the 12:38 mark from the top of the crease as he followed a strong net drive down the right wing from Nikita Nesterenko. The play was reviewed for goaltender interference, but Kuntar's fourth of the season stood.
Â
Less than two minutes later, McLaughlin fired a one-timer low blocker side from the slot to finish a triangle passing play with Jack McBain and Brandon Kruse to knot the score.
Â
Lee tipped another point shot, this time from Jordan Schulting, at 5:48 of the third to restore the lead for Lowell on his second of the night. Carl Berglund then redirected a shot-pass from the slot on the power play at 10:41 for a two-goal cushion.
Boston College had several opportunities in the closing minutes with Dop pulled for an extra skater, but Owen Savory (24 saves) helped seal the win for UML.
Â
BC hosts Maine for a two-game series at Kelley Rink next Thursday and Friday night at 7 p.m.
