Agnew Sends Boston College Past St. Lawrence In Overtime, 2-1
Junior forward Lindsay Agnew scored at 1:21 of overtime for the Eagles

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Lindsay Agnew scored 1 minute, 21 seconds into overtime, powering the No. 6 Boston College women's hockey team to a 2-1 comeback victory over No. 10 St. Lawrence on Thursday night at Kelley Rink.

With few whistles in the first 10 minutes, the game saw lots of back-and-forth play without too many looks getting on net. The teams traded power-plays late in the frame, and Maddy McArthur came up big with a save and follow-up diving save at the post. The Eagles had several nice looks over the final 10 minutes of the first period but couldn't solve Grace Harrison.

BC continued its buzzing to start the second but couldn't score and it was St. Lawrence that found the game's first goal five minutes into the middle frame. The Eagles kept looking for the equalizer and got it from Caitrin Lonergan late in the period.

St. Lawrence took advantage of an early power-play in the third to start putting more looks on goal but McArthur responded with five saves in the opening five minutes of the final frame.

Neither team found a go-ahead goal during the third period so the two ranked squads entered overtime. McArthur's sliding pad save 40 seconds into the extra time kept the Eagles in the game and allowed Agnew to score the game-winner a minute later.

Harrison finished with 32 saves for the Saints while McArthur had 18 for the Eagles. BC held the final edge in shots on goal at 34-18. Both BC (0-for-3) and St. Lawrence (0-for-2) couldn't convert on the power-play.
