Providence would respond with a goal of its own before senior Allie Thunstrom recorded her third goal of the week to make the score 4-2.

The Friars added two more goals only 18-seconds apart before sophomore Danielle Welch grabbed the Eagles' third power-play goal of the game to make the final score 6-3.

Freshman goalie Corinne Boyles made 19 saves on the day as the Eagles outshot the Friars 26-25. 18 of BC's shots came in the third period; ten more than in the previous two combined.
