THE SERIES: The Bulldogs and Eagles have met just five times in their history, with UMD owning the 4-1 record advantage. The two teams tangled last year on Oct. 8-9, 2011 to open the 2011-12 season. The Bulldogs pounced on BC opening night, piling up four second-period goals to bury the Eagles 7-2. After a silent first period, UMD erupted offensively with goals by Haley Irwin, Katie Wilson, Jessica Wong and Zoe Hickel. Wong recorded a career-high by scoring two goals and adding three assists for five points. Four players notched two or more points in the game and nine players in all registered points including three then-freshmen. UMD surrendered its first-ever program loss to the Eagles on Oct. 9, 2011 allowing BC to score the game-winning tally with less than a second left short-handed. The Bulldogs carred a 2-1 lead late into the third period but BC equalized with 2:51 remaining in the contest to set up the game-winning goal and leave UMD with a 3-2 loss. The Bulldogs have played in Chesnut Hill two other times before, a series during the current seniors rookie season. UMD swept the Eagles in those two games by scores of 3-0 and 5-1. UMD and BC have one playoff meeting between them -- both schools first encounter with each other -- also a historic one on March 16, 2007. The skate happened in Lake Placid, NY in the 2007 NCAA Frozen Four. The Eagles scored two goals in the first period to gain a 2-1 edge and after the Bulldogs tied the game 2-2 52 seconds into the second period, BC responded with a power-play tally 1:04 later. The game would stand at 3-2 in favor of the Eagles until Michaela Lanzl netted the game-tying goal with 4:20 remaining in regulation. Two overtimes later, senior forward Jessica Kozumi scored her second goal of the game at 14:19 to knock off the Eagles and send the Bulldogs to the NCAA championship game. Senior goaltender Riitta Schaublin made 29 saves in the contest for UMD, including 12 in the overtimes. BC netminder Molly Schaus was outstanding, stopping 47 Bulldog shots.
