CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Senior assistant captain Kristyn Capizzano netted her first career hat trick and Kenzie Kent scored a power-play goal - all in the second period - as the sixth-ranked Boston College women's hockey team overcame a two-goal deficit after one period to claim a 4-3 win over Syracuse on Wednesday night.
Cuse entered the first period intermission up 2-0 courtesy of goals from Laurence Porlier at 15:32 and Alysha Burriss at 19:42. But the Eagles stormed out into the second and took advantage of Capizzano goals at 3:58 and 9:08 to tie the game. Kent's power-play strike gave BC its first lead at 12:43 before Capizzano capped her first hat trick and scored the eventual game-winning goal at 15:57.
Syracuse added a third goal at 9:01 of the third period, but Katie Burt made 25 saves to back the Eagles to the win. Syracuse (5-8-5) used two goalies, with Abbey Miller making 17 saves in the loss before ceding to Ady Cohen, who made four saves, to start the third period.
Boston College (13-3-3) extended its unbeaten streak to seven games - 6-0-1 - with the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED
1st, 15:32 | 0-1, CUSE GOAL - Syracuse broke out after intercepting a BC dump-in, and Kelli Rowswell came down the wing and centered for Laurence Porlier. Porlier's low shot - with Morgan Blake crashing simoultaneously on the other side - beat Katie Burt and got the Orange on the board late in the first period.
1st, 19:42 | 0-2, CUSE GOAL - Cuse pushed its lead to 2-0 just before the first intermission. Jessica Sibley won the neutral-zone faceoff and Heather Schwartz jumped on the win and skated out with Alysha Burriss. After receiving Schwartz' pass, Burriss gained space through the middle got off a waist-high shot that beat Burt, extending the lead to two.
2nd, 3:58 | 1-2, BC GOAL (PPG) - With less than :30 left on its second power-play, BC's point players traded passes along the blue line. Grace Bizal and Kali Flanagan played it back and forth before Flanagan launched a shot from the point that Capizzano deflected in front just off the crease.
2nd, 9:08 | 2-2, BC GOAL - Capizzano struck again to tie the game, picking up Megan Keller's push pass in the neutral zone, skating around a pair of defenders and cutting inside to beat Miller in close. Haley McLean also picked up the secondary assist after winning possession with Keller near the Eagles' blue line.
2nd, 12:43 | 3-2, BC GOAL (PPG) - Megan Keller's shot from the point was blocked and kicked down low to Andie Anastos on the half boards. She traded passes with Makenna Newirk up the wall, before sending a threaded pass through the crease to Kenzie Kent on the far side. Kent's rising one-timer beat Miller to bring the Eagles all the way back from the two-goal deficit and give BC its first and final lead.
2nd, 15:57 | 4-2, BC GOAL - Capizzano capped her first career hat trick with what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Bridget McCarthy broke up Syracuse's clearing attempt along the near boards and fed Capizzano in the middle of the zone. Capizzano then played Kent down along the near goal line, and the junior returned the pass through the crease and Capizzano buried the one-timer from the slot to give the Eagles a two-goal lead going into the final stanza.
3rd, 9:01 | 4-3, CUSE GOAL (PPG) - Stephanie Gossi potted Savannah Rennie's feed across the slot to pull the Orange within one on the power play. Allie Munroe pulled the puck off the boards and played Rennie into open ice between the hashmarks. Gossie then faked a shot wide where Gossi re-directed it in to pull SU within one.
