The Boston College men’s hockey took down UMass Amherst 5-1 on Friday night, picking up a win on the road in the first game of a home-and-home weekend series. The Eagles didn’t look their best for much of this game, but some of the big names stepped up when it counted and BC was able to improve to 22-5-1 on the season and continue their string of positive results ever since dropping their Beanpot opener to BU.
The Eagles came out a bit slow in the first period, with UMass carrying the majority of the play early on.
