On Monday afternoon, USCHO released their weekly top-20 poll of men’s D1 hockey. Boston College found themselves jumping from 6th place to 4th place after they defeated reigning national champions Quinnipiac this weekend, 2-1 in overtime. BC is even receiving two first-place votes in the poll, indicating that voters see them as one of the very best teams in the nation.
Quinnipiac was ranked #2 in the nation when the two teams faced off on Saturday, and they looked very good against BC. But the Eagles’ freshman goaltender Jacob Fowler stepped up big and only let QU score one goal on 30 shots, including completely shutting them out for the entire OT period.
