HAMDEN, Conn. - Caitrin Lonergan scored a goal and added two assists as the No. 6 Boston College women's hockey team earned a 4-1 road win over No. 3 Quinnipiac on Saturday afternoon at the High Point Solutions Arena.

Makenna Newkirk recorded one goal and added an assist, while Andie Anastos and Grace Bizal both registered two assists in the win. Three of BC's goal came via special teams, including two power-play goals and one shorthanded strike.

BC took the series win the home-and-home set, finishing 1-0-1 on the weekend following Friday's 0-0 tie at Kelley Rink.

After a scoreless first period, the teams combined for three goals - and five penalties - to break a five-period goalless run in the series. Toni Ann Miano's goal put the Eagles on the board before Quinnipiac tied it up a minute and a half later. Newkirk's goal gave the Eagles' their last lead and sent the Eagles into the second intermission ahead 2-1, then Lonergan and Kent struck in the third period.

HOW IT HAPPENED

2nd, 5:28 | 1-0, BC GOAL (PPG) - Off the faceoff, Caitrin Lonergan collected the puck at the edge of the circle and threw it in front. Andie Anastos got to it in traffic and kicked it over to Lonergan below the line. She played a pass back across the slot where Miano streaked in and pushed a one-timer past Rossman for the series' first goal.

2nd, 6:54 | 1-1, QU GOAL (PPG) - Again right off a faceoff, the Bobcats worked the puck out and around to the point where Taryn Baumgardt launched a shot from the center point. The puck took a deflection in front and beat Katie Burt to bring the teams level at 1-1

2nd, 16:14 | 2-1, BC GOAL (PPG) - The Eagles worked the puck into the zone and Grace Bizal sent a pass lwide left of the next to Lonergan. She pushed it up near the top of the circle to Makenna Newkirk, who then skated in and launched a shot from the circle. Quinnipiac goaltender Sydney Rossman appeared to make the save as Anastos cut in front of her, but the puck trickled in under her to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead.

3rd, 9:23 | 3-1, BC GOAL (SHG) - While on the penalty kill, Bizal wrapped the puck down the left boards to clear the zone and Newkirk beat a Bobcat back into the Eagles' attacking end. Newkirk won the battle along the boards behind the net and Lonergan skated in unmarked, picked up the puck and cut across the crease, beating Rossman with a backhander.

3rd, 11:14 | 4-1, BC GOAL - Haley McLean pushed the puck up out of the zone to Anastos skating down the right wing. She skated into the zone and curled around the back of the net before sending a quick pass through the crease to Kenzie Kent on the far post for the open-net goal.
