The BC men’s hockey team lost to Notre Dame tonight by a score of 8-2, despite scoring first in tonight’s game.
The Eagles jumped to an (extremely) early lead, as captain Marc McLaughlin scored just 17 seconds into the game to put the Eagles up 1-0 with a beautiful shot. BC continued to outshoot Notre Dame throughout the first period, with 10 shots to Notre Dame’s 8. Unfortunately, with just under 8 minutes to go in the period a lucky deflection for the Fighting Irish tied the game at 1-1.
The first seconds of the second period weren’t quite as nice as the first for BC, as Matt Argentina was assessed a retroactive 5 minute major and game misconduct.
