HOW IT HAPPENED

UNH got the scoring started early, with Miller's shot at 4:30 into the first period on an extended forecheck forced by junior Ara Nazarian (Boxford, Mass.).
BC would answer back early in the second period on a quick shot by David Cotton 1:49 into the period to tie the game.
The Wildcats would retake the lead on MacAdams' goal as he took the puck in his own defensive zone off a long shot from BC that went wide; MacAdams skated the length of the ice, pulled back and fired a shot. The Wildcats were back on top, 2-1 7:30 into the period.
Just 2:01 later the Eagles tied the game back up on a power play with a goal by Kim.
In the third period, Kim netted the game-winner at 8:21.
The Wildcats had a 5-on-3 power play with 6:34 remaining in the contest, but BC goaltender Joseph Woll made a diving save off a shot by Nazarian.
The Wildcats were unable to score the equalizer as BC secured the 3-2 victory.
