Boston College Women’s Hockey came into their final series of the first “half” of the season playing with a good bit of confidence. Their only two losses of the year, a sweep at the hands of Providence, were put well behind them with a gutsy sweep of their own over UConn while missing seven players due to COVID protocol.
But this weekend’s home-and-home with Northeastern posed a far bigger challenge. BC did get some of their players back, but not all, and had to face off against Northeastern — a true juggernaut ranked #2 in the USCHO poll and #1 in the SB Nation poll — without a full roster.
