There is one major difference between last year's BC women's hockey team and last years.
Last season, the Eagles were not often tested in the regular season. When the time came to play for trophies against top competition, BC was just not prepared for the grind necessary to gut out close wins.
That hasn't been the case this season. Even though the Eagles are ahead of last season's pace both offensively and defensively, they've been in several games where they've had to fight to stay perfect. Friday afternoon's game against 6th ranked Northeastern was one of BC's toughest battles of the year, but the Eagles were able to come back twice against the Huskies to earn the 5-3 win and at least a share of the Hockey East regular season title.
