BOSTON – The Boston University women's ice hockey team (2-10-0, 2-5-0 HE) dropped a narrow 3-2 decision to Boston College (7-6-1, 6-2-1 HE) on Friday evening at Agganis Arena.

BC got on the board first with a short-handed goal before BU responded nearly 30 seconds later with a power-play goal of its own. The Eagles added a power-play goal with eight seconds to go in the frame to take a 2-1 lead that held until the third period.

BU tied the game, 2-2, with a power-play goal 5:44 into the final 20 minutes. That tie stood until 16:42, when BC scored the game-winner to defeat the Terriers, 3-2.
