Coming out of the break, BC hockey was 8th in the Pairwise despite stumbling to the end of the half with a tie to Northeastern and a loss to Notre Dame.
But waiting for the Eagles down in Florida was a juicy matchup: Ohio State came into the break 54th out of 60 teams in the Pairwise, on a 4 game losing streak, and with its only three victories on the season coming against Mercyhurst and Canisius.
But instead of a nice shake-off-the-rust waltz into the second half, it was instead another troubling collapse for BC, as the Eagles blew a 2-0 first period lead to fall 3-2 to the Buckeyes.
