Tuesday night, the Eagles had their first BC/BU rivalry matchup, and played great despite the close 4-3 final score. But getting up to play your big rival is one thing, getting up to play the worst team in women’s hockey is another.
This is BC’s second game against Holy Cross, taking game one by a score of 5-1. You’d think that would be plenty good enough — the GRaNT rankings, in fact, predict a 4 goal BC win — but the Eagles only managed one goal very late in the first period and didn’t finish strong.
