PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Brian Gionta recorded a hat trick to lead the 6th-ranked Boston College Eagles to a 5-2 win against the Providence College Friars in HOCKEY EAST action on Saturday, January 23 at PC's Schneider Arena.
The Eagles took a 1-0 lead when Matt Mulhern fired a shot from the left face off circle which directed off goaltender Mark Kane's stick into the net at 4:38 of the first period. Boston College increased its lead to 2-0 when Andy Powers took a feed off the face off and slipped a low shot past Kane at 14:07 of the first.
Gionta tallied the Eagles third goal of the game when he wristed in a rebound on the power-play at 6:01 of the second period. The Friars cut into BC's lead when Fernando Pisani rifled in a rebound past BC goaltender Scott Clemmensen at 7:02 of the second on the power-play. PC got its second power-play goal of the period to make the score 3-2 when Josh MacNevin's shot from the right point found the back of the net at 15:45 of the second.
Gionta scored his biggest goal of the night at 17:09 of the third period. With the Friars pressing to earn the equalizer during a power play, Gionta picked up a loose puck in the Friars' defensive zone and rifled a wrist shot past Kane's glove hand for a short-handed tally. He added an empty net goal to seal the win at 19:02 of the third.
With the win, Boston College raised its record to 14-8-2 overall and 9-5 in HOCKEY EAST action, while Providence fell to 13-10 overall and 8-6 in league play.
