On her first goal, Barnett evened the playing field, 1-1, on her first goal of the season. Barnett netted the game-winner, and her second goal of the night, with 4:20 remaining in regulation. Barnett created a turnover and Ashley Clark (North Weymouth, Mass.) dished it back on the 2-on-1 to make it a 2-1 game. The assist served as Clark's first career point as a Friar. Mireille Kingsley (Sudbury, Ontario) posted 42 saves in the victory, a career high, making multiple game-saving stops down the stretch. The game served as Kingsley's first start in net against a Hockey East and nationally ranked opponent.
In the second game of the series, Boston College struck first again before Lindsay Bochna (Toronto, Ontario) got the Friars on the board, 1-1, with a power play goal at 17:08 into the second period.
