HOW IT HAPPENED
1st, 6:23 | BC GOAL, 1-0 - Caroline Ross threw a shot on target from the center point and Annie Belanger made the save, but couldn't control the rebound. As Erin Connolly came across the crease to create traffic, Makenna Newkirk came in and pushed the puck over to her and Connolly shoveled the puck in past Belanger for the 1-0 BC lead.
1st, 7:32 | BC GOAL, 2-0 - Kathleen McNamara kept the puck in the point and dumped it to Caitrin Lonergan curling in off the half boards. Lonergan then pushed it ahead to Daryl Watts at the top of the circle, and she skated across the high slot before backhanding a pass back through traffic in the slot for Lonergan on the off post who banged it home to increase the Eagles' lead.
2nd, 10:56 | BC GOAL, 3-0 - UConn cleared a long stretch of BC possession and Serena Sommerfield picked up the puck up in the BC and bounced a pass off the boards on the angle. Lonergan picked it up with speed and cut through the neutral zone along the boards, into the UConn end and around the back of Belanger's net. At the edge of the faceoff circle on the far side, she looked inside and connected with Watts in the high slot. She reached out to make space and then sniped a shot high over Belanger while falling to push the Eagles' lead to 3-0.
