HOW IT HAPPENED
- 1st, 8:22 | BC GOAL, 1-0 (PPG) - On the Eagles' second power-play of the game, Caitrin Lonergan broke the play into the zone and cycled the puck around to the far point before receiving a pass back as she curled inside off the far half boards. She fed Daryl Watts in the high slot, who the feathered a pass to Makenna Newkirk at the edge of the goal for a one-timer. Kyra Smith made the save on her initial shot, but the rebound popped right back out to her and Newkirk banged it in under Smith for the 1-0 BC lead with the man-advantage.
- 1st, 14:29 | BC GOAL, 2-0 (SHG) - With UNH on the power play, Serena Sommerfield gain possession behind the Eagles' net and flicked the puck up to clear the zone. Her pass was short of the blueline, allowing Newkirk to get a stick on it under a UNH player, feeding Watts for the shorthanded one-on-two attempt. Watts broke out and gained the UNH blue line along the boards, cut inside on a defenseman and pushed a shot under Smith while going away from the net.
- 2nd, 11:21 | BC GOAL, 3-0 - Caroline Ross connected with Newkirk through a diagonal pass to the red line. Newkirk gained the Wildcats' zone and then played a backwards pass to Watts coming in behind her. Watts took the feed just above the circle, cut across the high slot and ripped a rising shot from the hashmarks that beat Smith bar down to put the Eagles up by three.
- 2nd, 14:21 | BC GOAL, 4-0 (SHG) - With the Wildcats on another power play, Ross gained possession behind the BC goal and pushed a quick pass out to Newkirk along the boards. Newkirk quickly found Watts at the top of the near circle, and the freshman deked around a UNH defenseman at the red line. She entered the zone and created space to toe-drag between the legs of the defenseman on her at the faceoff dot before pushing a high, tight-angled forehand over Smith from five feet away. It was her second shorthanded goal of the game.
- 2nd, 16:19 | BC GOAL, 5-0 -Sommerfield beat a UNH player to the puck along the boards in the BC end and flicked it centrally to Newkirk surging onto the pass. Newkirk gained the neutral zone and passed up to Watts just outside the blue line, who entered the zone creating a 2-on-1. Watts pushed the puck back to Newkirk at the edge of the near circle, and Newkirk quickly returned the pass back to Watts after the defenseman committed to her, allowing Watts to knock home her fourth goal of the night into an open net.
- 3rd, 13:52 | BC GOAL, 6-0 (PPG) - Ross and Sommerfield traded passes in their defensive zone to set up the power play and Sommerfield pushed up a pass to Willow Corson who took on a pair of defensemen in the neutral zone. She cut through center ice and entered the UNH end, going deep before playing the puck back up to Sommerfield at the point. Sommerfield sent a floating shot into traffic, beating Hilary Cashin who had entered for Smith after Watts' fourth goal.
