Giulia Colarusso fired the last shot of the first overtime. It was BC's only shot of the period. 

The Eagles took four shots in double overtime. Molly Driscoll took the last shot of the period and it was saved by Elizabeth Johnson. Grace Callahan charged down the field to clear the ball for the Wolverines and set up the offense with under a minute left. 

The Eagles trailed by four goals in the second half. BC fought back with a 4–0 run and led Michigan 8–7 at the end of the third quarter. 

Driscoll and Colarusso both scored twice. Driscoll, a junior, is leading the team in goals (6) and points (10).

BC fell behind a goal with six minutes left in regulation 9-8, but Colarusso tied the game at 9 on a bouncing shot with 3:26 remaining in regulation.

What a shot!
