That was much more stressful than it had to be.
Rivalry games, man. It doesn't matter if you dropkicked your rival 8-1 three days earlier on the road, there's just no telling what you're going to get.
What BC Women's Hockey got on Tuesday night was a Terrier team that took it to them to the brink and nearly ended their perfect start. But Alex Carpenter and Haley Skarupa did what the greats do, putting the team on their back in the extra session and earning an overtime 4-3 win for the Eagles.

The game started "BC" enough -- the Eagles came out with crisp, creative passing for an early goal that made it look like the game would be a laugher like on Saturday.
