Senior goaltender Morgan Fisher made 38 saves for the Huskies

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The UConn Huskies used a third-period goal from Briana Colangelo to hold off a comeback from the No. 6/6 Boston College women's hockey team for a 2-1 win on Friday afternoon at Kelley Rink.

Savannah Norcross opened the scoring midway through the first period to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead. The Huskies, though, would strike early in the second period and then found the back of the net six minutes into the final frame for a 2-1 lead. BC would go on to fire 20 shots on goal in the final frame and limit UConn to just two, but the visitors held off the attack.

Kelly Pickreign finished with 22 saves for BC while Morgan Fisher stopped 38 shots for UConn. The Eagles had the 39-24 lead in shots on goal while going 1-for-3 on the power play and keeping UConn to 0-for-5.
