Sophomore forward Andie Anastos and junior forward Meghan Grieves each had a pair of goals to lift the Eagles to victory.

The Eagles outshot Providence, 19-4 in the first period, and headed into the intermission maintaining their two-goal advantage.

The Friars chipped away at BC's lead to start the second frame. PC's Haley Frade got on the board with a spin move in front of the net six minutes into the middle stanza.

Junior forward Alex Carpenter retaliated with her 32nd goal of the year with four minutes to play in the second. Carpenter took advantage of PC goaltender Allie Morse, who was out of position after coming out for a puck, to make it 3-1, Eagles.

Less than a minute later, Anastos came through with her second goal of the game to enter the second intermission with a 4-1 lead.
