Kelley Rink | Chestnut Hill, Mass.
HOW IT HAPPENED
1st, 6:15 | 1-0, BC GOAL (SHG) - With the Eagles on their first penalty kill of the game, Serena Sommerfield cleared the puck ahead and out of the D zone to Megan Keller. Keller and Delaney Belinskas entered the Vermont zone on an odd-man rush, where Keller fed Belinskas for the shot from the left wing. Catamounts goaltender Madison Litchfield made the initial save, but Keller poked in the rebound trailing the play and gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead with the team's eighth shorthanded goal of the season.
1st, 9:05 | 2-0, BC GOAL - Haley McLean carried the puck into the zone and took it behind the goal where she played Sommerfield at the left point. Sommerfield took space toward the center point and then dumped the puck back to McLean just off the half boards. The senior sent a shot toward goal, and Bridget McCarthy got a stick on it just above the crease to deflect it in past Litchfield.
1st, 9:22 | 3-0, BC GOAL - Off the faceoff following McCarthy's goal, Vermont won the draw and tried to bank the puck off the boards in front of the BC bench. Megan Keller broke up the play and Erin Connolly streaked in to pick up the puck behind Katie Burt's goal. Connolly came back around the other side of the goal and fed Andie Anastos at the edge of the circle, where the senior played the puck right back to Connolly who picked up Keller for a 2-on-1. Connolly streaked down the right wing and cut inside where she beat Litchfield with a wrist shot going away from her. After that goal, Vermont pulled Litchfield and replaced her with Melissa Black.
1st, 19:02 | 4-0, BC GOAL (PPG) - On the team' first power-play of the game with the first period winding down, Keller got control of the puck at the left point and dumped it to Anastos just off the half boards on the edge of the circle. Kent sprinted from the right point down to the empty back post and Anastos threaded a cross-ice pass to her through traffic, allowing Kent to notch her 100th career point with a goal into an open net.
2nd, 2:53 | 5-0, BC GOAL - Keller broke up the Catamounts' rush just ahead of the Eagles' blue line and Anastos beat out a pair of Vermont players to the puck at center ice. She pushed the puck ahead and created a 2-on-1 with Kent and then played the puck across to the junior who slotted home her second of the game to push the lead to five goals.
2nd, 6:14 | 5-1, UVM GOAL - Daria O'Neill collected the puck in her end and fed Alyssa Gorecki in the neutral zone. Gorecki took space in the BC end and was hooked hard into the back boards as she got the shot off. With the official's arm up for a hooking call, Victoria Andreakos potted loose puck in front to get the Catamounts on the board.
2nd, 14:33 | 6-1, BC GOAL - Haley McLean broke up Vermont break-out attempt near the UVM blue line and played it back to Keller in the back half of the neutral zone. Keller curled and skated through center ice and into the Catamounts' end, before laying off to McLean in the high slot. Black saved McLean's shot, but Keller popped in the rebound into an open net on the near side.
2nd, 18:12 | 7-1, BC GOAL - Black saved Kali Flanagan's breakaway on the near post and as UVM defenseman Amanda Brobot tried to clear the puck, Anastos skated in front of her, intercepted the pass and put a wrist shot on target, beating Black for the team's seventh goal. After the goal, Vermont lifted Black for freshman Sydney Scobee who finished the game.
