Our seventh best moment of the Boston College sports decade is the biggest win in the history of the BC Women’s Hockey program: the come-from-behind, overtime win in the 2016 NCAA semifinals.
Let’s set the scene: the women’s hockey team was on a run for the ages, perfect at 39-0-0 with the Beanpot, the Hockey East regular season title, and the Hockey East tournament title already in the bag. The Eagles were smoking everyone along the way, too — BC had won the Beanpot by a combined score of 15-0 (!) against Harvard and Northeastern, and walloped BU in the conference championship 5-0, putting the game away in the first period without even letting the Terriers get a show in the opening frame.
