Knights Streak Snapped at Eight in 5-0 Loss to Boston College

January 6, 2007

Chestnut Hill, MA - Allie Thunstrom and Deborah Spillane each recorded three-points as Boston College ended the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team's school-record winning streak at eight games with a 5-0 shutout of the Golden Knights.

The Golden Knights, ranked 13th in the country, fell to 13-7-2 overall and have now concluded the regular-season non-conference schedule. Clarkson returns to New England next weekend with games at Brown and Yale. Boston College, ranked 11th in the country, completed a three-point weekend and improved to 12-5-2.

Saturday's game only had a lopsided score as none of the other determining statistics favored Boston College dramatically. The Eagles' Kelli Stack scored the game's first goal at the 18:30 mark of the first period and Boston College's Becky Zavisza picked up her ninth goal of the season 11 minutes later, midway through the second period. Through the first two periods, BC held a small 19-18 advantage in shots on goal and led 2-0.

It was the third period that really undid the Knights as the Eagles scored three goals in the final stanza, including two in the last three minutes of the game. Spillane scored at 1:54 of the third, followed by goals from Lee-J Mirasolu and Allie Thunstrom at 17:07 and 19:01, respectively. Boston College enjoyed a 13-8 advantage in shots in the final frame.

Both teams were held scoreless on the power play as Clarkson went 0-for-5 with the man-advantage and Boston College was 0-for-4 up a skater. Stephanie Hansen (Calgary, ALB) recorded 27 saves, losing only her second game of the season in 12 decisions. Molly Schaus made 26 saves in her second shutout of the season for Boston College
