NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The No. 14 Boston College men's hockey team suffered a 4-2 defeat to Merrimack on Friday evening at Lawler Arena. James Hagens and Dean Letourneau both scored for the Eagles. Andre Gasseau, Oscar Hemming, and Teddy Stiga each finished with one assist.

Boston College moves to 16-10-1 overall and 10-7-0 in Hockey East, while Merrimack is now 15-12-1 overall and 8-9-1 in league play.

BC opened the scoring midway through the first period when J. Hagens put home a one-timer from the slot. Gasseau was down along the boards behind the Merrimack and made a no-look pass to J. Hagens in the slot for the opener.

Boston College doubled its lead just minutes later when Stiga forced a turnover in the neutral zone while on the penalty kill, sending Letourneau into the offensive zone before Letourneau fired off a wrist shot that went top shelf over the Merrimack goaltender's stick side.

The Warriors got onto the board late in the opening frame when they scored on the power play to make it a 2-1 game. Merrimack tied the game at 2-2 early into the second period with a short-handed goal of its own.

Merrimack scored twice just 41 seconds apart in the middle of the third period to go out in front by two and held on for the win.
