The Boston College men’s hockey team used a dominant first period to knock off Holy Cross 5-1 and win the Ice Breaker Tournament. After an up and down performance against Quinnipiac on Friday night, this was a game that the Eagles controlled from the start and put away fairly early on to earn their first official win of the season.
BC got on the board quickly for the second night in a row when Brandon Kruse scored his first goal as an Eagle just 23 seconds into the game. Kruse, a transfer from Bowling Green, directed home a great pass from Marshall Warren into a wide open net to give BC the elad on the first shift of the game.
