BOSTON - A pair of Boston-area freshmen scored all of the Eagles' goals and senior captain Andie Anastos added a pair of assists as the sixth-ranked Boston College women's hockey team earned a 3-1 victory over Harvard in a game played at Fenway Park as part of the two-week long Frozen Fenway activities.
Redshirt freshman Erin Connolly (South Boston, Mass.) scored two goals, while freshman Bridget McCarthy (Pembroke, Mass.) tallied the team's first goal.
After a scoreless first period, McCarthy got the Eagles on the scoreboard with a rifle that was set-up by Anastos at 9:45. Connolly doubled the lead with a power-play strike - from Anastos and Makenna Newkirk - at 14:05 to send BC into the second intermission with a two-goal lead.
While there was light to moderate rain throughout the first two periods, the intensity picked up between the second and third periods and the teams came out for the third in heavy rain that caused some minor ice flooding throughout the period.
Connolly netted her second of the game 12:54 into the third when she stole the puck at the red line, skated in and launched a snapshot from the top of the right circle that beat Crimson goaltender Brianna Laing.
Harvard broke Katie Burt's shutout bid with a goal at 14:58 as Kat Hughes knocked in a puck on the doorstep as Bradley Fusco's centering pass from the right died in a puddle in the crease.
Burt made 22 saves, while Laing posted 27 saves for Harvard.
Boston College (14-3-4) extended its unbeaten streak to nine games - 7-0-2. Harvard fell to 1-11-2.

HOW IT HAPPENED
2nd, 9:45 | 1-0 - BC GOAL: Andie Anastos broke up Harvard's clearance pass and skated into the zone. She picked up Bridget McCarthy cutting in, backhanded a pass behind her and McCarthy converted a one-timer for the Eagles' first goal.
2nd, 14:05 | 2-0 - BC GOAL (PPG): With Eagles on their second power play of the night, Megan Keller dumped the puck from the left point and Connolly passed it further around from behind the goal. Makenna Newkirk and Anastos combined on the wall to keep possession and Anastos then sent a centering pass toward goal where Connolly re-directed it in for BC's second goal.
3rd, 12:54 | 3-0 - BC GOAL: Connolly forced a turnover near the red line in the front of the benches and skated into space with only one Harvard defenseman back. Once in the Crimson's zone, she ripped a shot from the top of the circle that beat Brianna Laing.
3rd, 14:58 | 3-1 - HARV GOAL: Bradley Fusco's shot from the right got caught in traffic in front of the net stopped in a pool of water on the edge of the crease, allowing Kat Hughes to knock it in and get the Crimson on the board. Fucso and Lexie Laing worked a give-and-go at the blue line to set up the play.
