It was a harder road to victory this afternoon than on Friday, but the Boston College men’s hockey team defeated UMass again today. The Eagles earned a 6-4 win after blowing a lead and staging a comeback.
Ryan Leonard, who scored twice in Friday’s game at UMass, made it 1-0 Eagles just about 7 minutes into the game off a pass from Gabe Perrault. Perrault then picked up a goal of his own with under a minute to go in the period, scoring on a relentless power play effort from the Eags to put them up 2-0.
UMass cut BC’s lead to 1 at 11:32 in the second, and then tied things up at 2 with 8:25 to go after Fowler was knocked down.
