CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Providence College men's hockey team was defeated by Boston College, 5-1, Friday in a Hockey East game played at Kelley Rink in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
The Friars took a 1-0 lead at 11:16 of the first period when junior co-captain John Cavanagh (Warwick, R.I.) scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season. Sophomore Matt Germain (Rockland, Mass.) slid a pass ahead to Cavanagh who skated in on a breakaway before firing a back-handed shot that glanced off BC goalie John Muse's shoulder and into the net. Freshman Matt Bergland (Faribault, Minn.) also assisted on the goal.
The Eagles scored three times in the second period to take a 4-1 lead. Barry Almeida scored his sixth goal of the season, capitalizing on a two-on-one rush at 5:15. At 14:50, Almeida potted his second goal of the night as scored from the slot after a PC turnover to make the score, 3-1. Brian Gibbons then added his ninth goal of the season, a power-play tally, to give the Eagles a three-goal edge. BC added a late goal in the third period to seal the win.
The Eagles and the Friars will complete their two-game series on Saturday, February 28 at Schneider Arena.
