Anchorage stops Stonehill; BC men top UConn in OT; BC women, Northeastern prevail in Hockey East - CHS 12-4-24

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for December 4, 2024. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a New Hampshire fan and two Northeastern fans walk into Bridgewater Ice Arena …  No analysis, no breakdowns, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

Today, we’re not starting with the ranking teams - we’re going to Stonehill. 

Alaska-Anchorage got goals from four different players to defeat longtime, hated independent rival Stonehill 4-1 in a matchup that brought together some New England-based diehards—or should we say Sickos at the Bridgewater Ice Arena. 

Third-ranked Boston College outlasted UConn 2-1 in overtime at Conte Forum. James Hagans scored his fourth of the year for the game-winner, while Teddy Stiga also scored for BC. Ryan Tattle’s shorthanded goal tied it in the second, but BC dominated the shot count 43-24, including 17-4 in the third.

On the women’s side, No. 10 Boston College rallied with three third-period goals to defeat Providence 4-3. Abby Newhook, Julia Pellerin, and Sammy Taber each scored their seventh goals of the season for BC, which improved to 12-5 and has now won five of its last seven. Northeastern topped New Hampshire 2-0 with goals from Eloise Caron and Jaden Bogden. 

Northeastern sits tied for second with Boston College, just one point behind conference leader Boston University in Hockey East. In NEWHA women’s play, Grace Babington scored her fourth goal of the season in overtime as LIU edged St. Anselm 4-3. LIU fired an incredible 60 shots on goal to improve to 9-5-2. 

St. Anselm trailed 3-0 heading into the third but mounted a furious comeback.   Brooklyn Schneiderhan and Gracee Donovan, each tallying their eighth of the season, to force the extra frame. 
 
Two games scheduled for Thursday: Penn State is at No. 17 Ohio State on the men’s side, while St. Anselm finishes up its mid-week series at LIU.
