In our preview for this weekend’s matchups with New Hampshire and Maine, we said that it was crucial for Boston College Women’s Hockey to bank points against these teams in the lower half of the Hockey East standings. That is, and I cannot emphasize this enough, *not* what happened, as the Eagles took a couple stinging defeats and claimed only one of six available points, falling 5-3 to New Hampshire on Friday and 2-1 in overtime to Maine on Saturday.
Things started out well enough on Friday with the Eagles scoring the first goal of the game against the Wildcats, but it was the only lead they would hold all weekend.
