Boston College Women’s Hockey had an early exit from the Hockey East tournament with a rough 5-1 loss to UConn in the quarterfinals, but there’s hope that the season isn’t quite over just yet for Katie Crowley’s squad.
The Eagles needed a lot of things to go their way this weekend, but it looks like BC got most of the results they needed to at least be in the discussion. With Colgate just now earning the ECAC championship, the only surprise auto-bid into the NCAA tournament field is going to be Robert Morris out of the CHA. That’s not the ideal result for the Eagles, but it at least puts Penn State, who was solidly in the field before losing in the CHA semifinals, back into the list of bubble teams hoping to get an invitation to Erie, PA next week.
