Time for some hard truths.
On paper, Boston College Women’s Hockey has one of the most talented rosters in the country this season, as they do most seasons. No team has more returning Olympians than the Eagles do. BC has the returning Patty Kazmaier Award winner, who is just a sophomore. They have one of the nation’s most dynamic forwards, Caitrin Lonergan. They have one of the best pure, two-way hockey players in the game in Makenna Newkirk. They have senior leadership, they have youthful talent, and they have an extremely talented young goaltender, Maddy McArthur.
And yet, as has become far, far too common for a team of this caliber, Boston College continues to be unable to get it done in big games.
