...span of 303:48—two power plays in the second frame for the Crimson brought no fortune, as all six shots taken were saved by Quandt. Continued strong play from BC, combined with a bad pass by Harvard and swift move by Spillane, brought the Eagles??€™ lead to 2-0 with 17:22 left in the second period. The period ended with little offense from Harvard as BC outshot the Crimson, 14-8, and kept Harvard scoreless throughout the second period. The Crimson began the third period with more of the same, as the Harvard offense...
That being said, the talent gulf seems to be shrinking, as a tale of two sophomores last night might indicate. On the Eagles??€™ second goal, second-year player and tournament MVP Deborah Spillane juked and turned around Crimson sophomore defender Jessica Mackenzie before breaking in on net for the score. BC matched Harvard in quickness and stick-handling throughout the contest...
...skaters swarmed Harvard’s defensive zone. And then, with one mighty heave, the forward launched the puck the length of the Kelley Rink ice and watched it glide into Boston College’s empty net.

They attacked, pressing a Harvard defense that stood nearly still, hitting the crossbar, and pushing another shot...
...Crimson delivered a couple of solid checks itself. In the second period, with the Eagles on the power play, Harvard got caught on a line change, giving BC a 2-on-0. But senior defenseman Tom Walsh sped down the ice and threw his body at the Eagles??€™ forward, preventing BC from getting a shot on net. Blueliner Dave MacDonald foiled a scoring chance with a big hit as well. After losing his stick while back-checking, the defenseman simply leveled his opponent. Nevertheless, there was little doubt that the Eagles were doing most of the body-checking...
...limit yesterday before a late surge put the Crimson (5-8, 1-3 Ivy) away in Chesnut Hill. The 4-0 decision was Harvard’s seventh consecutive loss. Despite a goal with 22:08 remaining in the first half by the Eagles??€™ Crystal Frates, the Crimson had reason for optimism at the half. Trailing just 1-0, Harvard opened the second half with heavy pressure on the Eagles defense and had several scoring chances narrowly miss the net or find the post. “We are just really unlucky, and it’s really...
