The No. 18 Boston College Eagles (3-4-1, 1-2-0 HE) men’s hockey team is looking to earn its first sweep of the season in its finale with the Vermont Catamounts (3-4, 1-2 HE) on Saturday night. 

In the first game of the series on Friday night, Boston College defeated Vermont 2-1 with a late goal by forward Landan Resendes with a minute and a half left in regulation. 

The Eagles also saw a first period power-play goal from forward Dean Letourneau, his third of the season, while Vermont forward Max Strand scored the sole goal for the Catamounts.

The victory snapped a three-game skid for the Eagles. During the stretch, they lost to No. 9 Denver 7-3 and lost a pair of contests to No. 14 Northeastern 4-1 and 3-0. 

This will be the 82nd meeting between the two teams. Boston College leads the all-time series over Vermont 55-18-8 which includes the last five meetings.

3rd

• 12:54 | Brady Berard scores for the Eagles, his second of the season. This looks to be too far out of reach for a comeback for Vermont. Boston College 5, Vermont 0.

• 10:00 | Halfway through the final frame, Boston College still leads Vermont 4-0.

2nd

• 20:00 | The buzzer sounds and the Eagles head into the second intermission with a four-goal lead. Boston College 4, Vermont 0.

• 18:21 | The goals start coming and they don't stop coming... BC adds another goal to the board with a score from defenseman Lukas Gustafsson, his first of the season. James Hagens and Luka Radivojevic tallied assists. Boston College 4, Vermont 0.

1st

• 20:00 | The buzzer sounds and the opening frame has officially come to an end. Boston College 2, Vermont 0.

• 18:15 | The penalty minutes are done and the Catamounts get their second consecutive penalty kill.

• 16:15 | Vermont is called for yet another penalty, this time on Daniel Sambuco for tripping. Will Vermont get the kill or will Boston College add some support to its lead?

• 10:48 | The two minutes have gone by and Vermont gets the penalty kill.

• 8:48 | The last thing the Catamounts need is to give BC another advantage and they might have just done that. Thomas Sinclair gets called for cross-checking and BC will be on a power play.

• 5:36 | Boston College gets its first chance at a power-play as Vermont's Caden Herrington is called for tripping, a two-minute minor. Here's hoping there aren't 12 penalties like in the series opener.
