Delivering a 5–1 win over the Friars (0–4, 0–2 Hockey East), Boston College women’s hockey (3–2, 2–0) made its mark in Providence’s Schneider Arena on Saturday. 

A little less than four minutes into the game, the Eagles notched their first penalty kill after a roughing call against Kate Ham. 

Holding its own, the Eagles’ defense cleared the puck out of the zone, as goaltender Grace Campbell stood tall in the net. 

And it didn’t take long for BC to get on the board. In fact, it took less than 10 minutes, thanks to Sammy Taber. 

Juking her defenders after an Ava Thomas assist, Taber netted the first goal of the game. It would be far from the Eagles’ last. 

The Friars fought back despite giving up a body-checking penalty at 9:36, killing the penalty successfully. 

That could only last so long for Providence, though, as the Eagles tallied their second goal of the game off a Madelyn Murphy assist and Thomas goal. 

Thomas made her mark for the Eagles this weekend, securing six points through two games. 

Ham’s shot made it into the back of the net on an Eagles’ power play and closed out the first period with a 3–0 lead. 

BC was far from done, though. And the Eagles came out relentlessly at the start of the second frame. 

A new goaltender didn’t help the Friars much, as everything unraveled for Providence when Thomas tallied her second goal of the matchup. 

Taber began the drive with a give-and-go to Thomas, who tapped the puck into the net, as BC broke out in celebrations on the ice.

With a little under three minutes to play in the second frame, Murphy got into the action—stretching the Eagles’ lead to five. 

In the third frame, Providence didn’t let the game end quietly. The Friar’s first and only goal of the matchup came 4:25 into the final period when Sami Snyder finally broke through Campbell, touching the puck past her legs and into the back of the net. 

The rest of the third period continued scoreless, as BC ended the game 5–1 and earned its second conference win.
