No. 18 Eagles Take Down No. 12 UMass for First Home Win
November 14, 2025 | Men's Hockey
Leading 3-2 after the second, the offense exploded for four goals in the third period
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The No. 18/16 Boston College men's hockey team earned their first home win of the season with a 7-3 win over No. 12/13 UMass on Friday evening at Kelley Rink. Seven different players scored a goal for the Eagles as Brady Berard,Ryan Conmy, Drew Fortescue, James Hagens, Dean Letourneau, Will Traeger, and Will Vote each lit the lamp. Luka Radivojevic finished with two points on two assists. Louka Cloutier finished with 13 saves to earn his fifth win of the season.
Boston College improves to 5-4-1 overall and 3-2-0 in Hockey East while UMass is now 7-5-0 overall and 1-3-0 in league play.
After UMass scored the opener midway through the first period, the Eagles tied things up minutes later when Letourneau tipped home a Radivojevic shot from the blueline. Radivojevic had an opening for a shot from the blueline, but Letourneau was in the goalie's sightline and tipped the puck to redirect it into the net.
Trailing 2-1 going into the second period, BC scored the equalizer early in the middle frame when Fortescue ripped a shot through traffic that tucked inside the bottom left corner. Aram Minnetian and Michael Hagens combined on the right side before Minnetian swung the puck across to an open Fortescue on the left side for the sophomore to take advantage of the space in front of him to fire home the tying goal.
Boston College took its first lead of the night midway through the second period when J. Hagens got on the scoresheet. Teddy Stiga picked up the puck along the boards, made a no-look pass to Hagens for a shot that took a slight deflection off a UMass defender on its way in.
BC came flying out of the gates to start the third period, scoring two goals in the first 1:33. Conmy got things going with a power play goal just 44 seconds into the period, before Vote pushed the lead to three just 49 seconds later after following up on a loose puck from close range.
The Minutemen scored a power play goal of their own to make it five 5-3, but the Eagles responded with two more goals to cap off the victory. Berard took advantage of an empty net for UMass to push the lead back to three, and Traeger joined in on the scoring with less than 30 seconds to go.
