Third period:

FINAL: Boston College 7, UMass 3.

  • GOAL, BC - Will Traeger registers the first goal of his career right in front of the net to put the icing on the cake for the Eagles. Boston College 7, UMass 3 [0:25].
  • GOAL, BC - Brady Berard scores an empty-netter to shut the door on any remaining hopes for UMass. Will Vote assisted the senior captain with his second goal of the year. Boston College 6, Umass 3 [1:55].
  • UMass pulls Jackson Irving from the net to give it a 5-on-4 advantage with 4:00 left in regulation.
  • 4:18 - BC's Luka Radivojevic and UMass' Cam O'Neil are both thrown into the box for roughing.
  • GOAL, UMass - Just seconds after Bo Cosman's penalty for holding ended, Daniel Jencko powered the puck past Louka Cloutier on his glove side with a one-timer, decreasing the Minutemen's deficit to two. Boston College 5, UMass 3 [7:00].
  • Sophomore forward Teddy Stiga was sent off the ice for the rest of the game with a five-minute major for unsportsmanlike conduct, which put Will Traeger in the box for the Eagles to commence 4-on-4 play.
  • 10:18 - Bo Cosman is penalized for holding, sending BC to the power play.
  • The Eagles kill off the penalty to keep their lead at 5-2.
  • 12:42 - Landan Resendes is sent to the penalty box for charging before the whistle. Resendes, a freshman out of Marlborough, Mass., has often let his anger get the best of him before and after the whistle this season, but he displays the type of fight in a player you want in a freshman from a coach's perspective.
  • GOAL, BC - Less than a minute after Conmy's goal, Will Vote jammed the puck into the net from just outside the crease to hand the Eagles' a three-goal advantage. Dean Letourneau and Luka Radivojevic picked up the assists. Boston College 5, UMass 2 [18:27].
  • GOAL, BC - Ryan Conmy notches his third goal of the season from the slot on a one-timer, increasing BC's lead to two, which ends the power play. James Hagens fed Conmy a perfect pass from the corner. Boston College 4, UMass 2 [19:16].
  • The Eagles will have 1:34 left on the man advantage when the final frame of regulation commences.

Second period:

End of P2: Boston College 3, UMass 2.

  • 0:27 - UMass' Justin Kerr is penalized for tripping, sending the Eagles to the power play for the first time in the matchup.
  • BC gets the kill after an ugly-looking UMass power play. James Hagens nearly scored a short-handed goal after a deke which completely fooled a Minutemen defender, as he slid the puck through his legs and off his skates to get a shot off.
  • 5:37 - Brady Berard is sent to the penalty box for cross checking in the offensive zone, a completely unnecessary penalty to take when you're 200 feet from your own goal. The Minuteman go on the power play for the first time in the game.
  • GOAL, BC - James Hagens tallies his fourth goal of the season to hand the Eagles their first lead of the game. Hagens demanded the puck and skated around the entire offensive zone before ending up with a short breakaway, and the sophomore slid the puck through Jackson Irving's five hole. Boston College 3, UMass 2 [7:09].
  • James Hagens and Nick VanTassell both received a penalty for roughing after the whistle, which led to 4-on-4 play 7:04 into the frame. The tensions are increasing and full-body checks in the neutral zone are steadily increasing.
  • GOAL, BC - Drew Fortescue ties up the game with a shot from the top of the circle after a lengthy offensive-zone sequence thanks to the cycling of Michael Hagens and Will Moore behind the net. Aram Minnetian and Hagens were credited with assists. Boston College 2, UMass 2 [17:44].

First period:

End of P1: UMass 2, Boston College 1.

  • The Minutemen have done a good job of blocking shots at the point, which is limiting the Eagles from high-quality scoring chances. BC has struggled with attaining high-quality scoring chances, BC head coach Greg Brown mentioned back when the Eagles lost to Northeastern at home, despite its total shot output per game.
  • GOAL, UMass - The Minutemen take the lead once again on a snipe from the left circle by junior forward Jack Musa. Musa slotted the puck right over Louka Cloutier's right shoulder, and the puck dinked off of two posts before settling in the net. UMass 2, Boston College 1 [3:30].
  • GOAL, BC - Dean Letourneau knots up the score at one apiece with a tip-in off a Jake Sondreal shot from the point. The puck came off of Letourneau's stick and nestled in the upper corner of the net past Jackson Irving. Letourneau now leads the Eagles in goals this season with four. Boston College 1, UMass 1 [8:28].
  • GOAL, UMass - Jack Galanek fed a puck to the middle of the offensive zone, which ricochetted off of James Hagens' skate, then the post, and into the net past Louka Cloutier. The Eagles were leading in shots on goal, 7-2, when the shot went in. UMass 1, Boston College 0 [9:25].
  • 14:51 - Connor Joyce rips a shot from the slot, which is deflected out of play by UMass goaltender Jackson Irving. The Eagles and the Minutemen are tied in shots on goal, 2-2.
  • 17:01 - Louka Cloutier makes the first save of the game on a shot from the point. So far, the game has remained neutral-zone heavy.
