CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Behind a 46-save effort from goaltender Brittany Bulgalski, Northeastern handed the sixth-ranked Boston College women's hockey team a 2-1 defeat at Kelley Rink today, the Eagles' first loss since Nov. 5 - a span of 17 games.
The defeat was also BC's first home loss since Oct. 16, 2013, and snapped the Eagles' NCAA-record 63-game home undefeated streak that had grown to 59-0-4.
After a scoreless first period, Northeastern struck first when Shelby Herrington converted a shorthanded chance at 9:42. The Huskies took the one-goal lead into the third period where they built it to a 2-0 advantage when Andre Renner banged in her own rebound at 3:22.
Caitrin Lonergan's 12th goal of the season at 7:16 cut the Huskies' lead to 2-1, and that was the final score line when BC could not convert with an extra attacker in the final two minutes of the game.
Boston College out-short the Huskies 47-32 in the game. Bulgalski made a total of 46 saves, including 18 in the first, nine in the second and 19 in the third. Katie Burt made 30 saves in the loss.

HOW IT HAPPENED
2nd, 9:42 | 0-1, NU GOAL (SHG) - With the Huskies drawing a faceoff in the Eagles' end while on the penalty kill, Shelby Herrington won the draw and Paige Savage plucked the puck off the halfboards. Savage sent it to the point where Maddie Hartman threw a shot down low and Herrington deflected the puck in as she skated across the front of the goal.
3rd, 3:22 | 0-2, NU GOAL - McKenna Brand pulled the puck off the boards just past the Northeastern bench and played Herrington ahead as she skated down into the corner. BC wasn't able to get control down low, and Herrington fed Andrea Renner in front, who put her own rebound in after Katie Burt made the initial save.
3rd, 7:16 | 1-2, BC GOAL (PPG) - Burt collected Northeastern's penalty-kill clearance and sent it up ice to Caitrin Lonergan who picked it up at the red line and curled back around the center circle and into the Northeastern end. Skating deep, she put a hard-angled shot on goal from near the endline but the puck kicked up off of Paige Capistran and in over Brittany Bulgalski to pull BC within one.
