CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College women's ice hockey (2-1) defeated Union College (1-2-1) Sunday afternoon in a contest that included 12 penalties, five goals and a little bit of confusion.
 
      A shot that appeared to hit underneath the crossbar and land in the net of Union was not counted by the referees, but appeared to be counted by the goal judge and the BC squad, and that was only the beginning of the confusion. BC did get on the board first with a goal by Kristin Blundo, assisted by Alaina Clark. The shot from the right corner of the net at just a minute and 14 seconds in to the game. The score remained 1-0 for the first period.

    BC scored early in the second period, just 13 seconds in. Heide Seidewand took responsibility, fed from Lindsey Bazzone right in front of the net. Sarah McGarrell entered the penalty bodx at 13:46 for obstruction, and Sarah Courtney was a minute behind her with a tripping call. Just 19 seconds later captain Sarah Carlson was called for intereference, to be served when McGarrell left the penalty box. Quick to the ice, McGarrell was caught leaving early and BC received another penalty for too many men on the ice. The Eagles played almost eight minutes with just three skaters. Union capitalized on this and knocked one passed goaltender Christine Moynihan with just over four minutes left to play.

     The Eagles outplayed Union in the final period. BC had 16 shots on the Dutchwomen's Laura Carlson, to bring the days total to 43 shots on net. Union only had possession long enough o make two shots on Moynihan in the third period, bringing their total to 16 shots on goal. Kerri Sanders made the Eagle's third goal 20 seconds in, off a pass from Jen Fischl. Megan Scully would score an assurance goal at 13:01, assisted by Sarah Carlson.
