Belle Smith totaled a career-high eight points with five goals and a personal-high three assists. She was one of three Eagles with Jenn Medjid (four goals) and Kayla Martello (three goals) to earn a hat trick. Caitlynn Mossman produced a team-high four assists in the victory. Martello and Smith teamed up for seven of the team's nine goals, while Medjid scored the other two in the second period. BC improved to 6-0 for the first time since 2019.Â
