Katie Burt made 31 saves - including 15 in the third period - as Boston College (2-0-0) took the second of the two-game series against Minnesota Duluth (2-2-0).

Kelley Rink at Conte Forum | Chestnut Hill, Mass.
1st, 7:47 | 1-0 - BC GOAL - After several players battled for the puck behind the Bulldogs' goal, Makenna Newkirk gained possession and sent it up to Kathleen McNamara at the far point. The defenseman sent a shot in, and Kenzie Kent tipped it in under UMD goaltender Catherine Johnson on the near post to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
1st, 11:39 | 1-1 - UMD GOAL (PPG) - With less than 20 seconds remaining on a BC penalty, Catherine Daoust dug the puck out along the halfboards near the UMD bench and played Ryleigh Houston in the faceoff circle. Houston sent short pass ahead to Ashton Bell, who skated out of the Bulldogs' zone along the boards and into the BC end. She curled inside and got off a wrist shot from the faceoff dot that found space inside the far post to even the game.
1st, 18:28 | 2-1 - BC GOAL (PPG) - On the power play, Toni Ann Miano picked up the puck behind Katie Burt's goal and played it ahead to Caitrin Lonergan at the blue line. The forward took the puck and skated past one UMD defender before gaining the Bulldogs' blue line. She skated deeper, cut inside at the circle and let off a snapshot, but it was blocked by a UMD defender. However, the rebound popped right out to Daryl Watts at the edge of the circle who whipped it by Johnson to put the Eagles ahead with her first career goal just before the intermission.
2nd, 14:52 | 3-1 - BC GOAL - Willow Corson gained possession in front of the BC bench and played it just ahead to Lonergan as she surged forward. Lonergan took space through the neutral zone and into the UMD end, picking up a defender along the boards. Watts was charging down through the high slot, and collected Lonergan's centering pass around a Bulldog and redirected it up over Johnson's shoulder for the two-goal advantage.
2nd, 16:56 | 4-1 - BC GOAL - Miano corralled the rebound of a Johnson save at the edge of the faceoff circle and dumped it back to Lonergan along the goal line. Lonergan cut across the circle and was tripped by UMD's Anna Klein. As she fell, she managed to get a pass off through the slot to Watts on the doorstep as the delayed call was coming, and Watts and hammered a shot over Johnson's shoulder - kicking down off the crossbar - for BC's fourth goal of the day and her first career hat trick.
