QUOTABLES

Head coach Katie Crowley
"Our team came out ready to play today. We made a few adjustments offensively from yesterday and were able to capitalize on our scoring chances. We moved pucks well, played a good team game and came out with two big non-conference wins."

HOW IT HAPPENED

1st, 3:37 // 1-0, BC GOAL: With the Eagles pressing, Makenna Newkirk fed Kenzie Kent behind the goal. Kent slid the puck to Carpenter on the other post, and the forward skated in and snuck the puck in behind Cornell goaltender Marlene Boissonnault for her 210th career point and the BC career scoring record

1st, 15:55 // 2-0, BC GOAL: With Cornell attempting to clear, Kaliya Johnson kept the puck in the zone at the point and fed Andie Anastos along the boards. Anastos dropped the puck to Haley Skarupa coming out from the corner and Skarupa skated in toward the slot and her shot beat Boissonnault for the 2-0 lead.

1st, 17:38 // 3-0, BC GOAL: Lexi Bender sent the puck around the back of the net to Haley Skarupa, who fed it out to the neutral zone. Kristyn Capizzano jumped on the loose puck and skated in on a 2-on-1 with Trivigno. Capizzano fed the the co-captain for the re-direction past Boissonnault after the goaltender committed to the shot.

2nd, 00:52 // 4-0, BC GOAL: The Eagles cycled the puck around and Kali Flanagan sent a shot in from the right point. Haley Skarupa re-directed it on target, and it fell to Alex Carpenter at the right post who fired it home from close range.

2nd, 13:29 // 5-0, BC GOAL: Off a face-off to start a power-play, Alex Carpenter won the draw to Kenzie Kent, who played Megan Keller at the point. Keller returned the puck to Kent, who then found Carpenter further down the boards. Carpenter took the puck and skated it into the slow slot, beating Boissonault for the third time on the night.

3rd, 16:43 // 6-0, BC GOAL: Toni Ann Miano fed Lexi Bender at the blue line, and Bender took the space into the offensive zone. Makenna Newkirk skated into the slot, where Bender fed the freshman for her second goal in as many nights.

3rd, 17:29 // 7-0, BC GOAL: Toni Ann Miano's shot from the point was re-directed by Meghan Grieves and the puck found Andie Anastos streaking in from the slot. Anastos flicked the puck up and over Boissonnault's right shoulder for the Eagles' second goal in 46 seconds

3rd, 18:57 // 8-0, BC GOAL: Makenna Newkirk converted her second goal of the night and second strike in 2 minutes, 14 seconds. Kali Flanagan fed the puck across the blue line for Lexi Bender's one-timer, and Newkirk redirected the puck just outside the crease for the Eagles' eight and final goal
