SECOND PERIOD

The Eagles generated a 9-5 shot advantage and scored the only goal in the second stanza.
Julia Pellerin gave BC a 1-0 lead at 7:52 when her shot from the left circle deflected off Blair's stick blade up, hit under her right arm and continued into the net.
With two minutes on the clock, Alyson Hush (Scarborough, Ontario) led a rush down the right wing. She saucered a pass to the slot, where the shot by Kelly Harty (Billerica, Mass.) was knocked down by Campbell's blocker. The goalie then lunged to her right to cover the loose puck before Harty and Hush could get a stick on the loose puck.
BC went on the first power play of the game at 18:26.
Blair made one save – off the stick of Sammy Taber – with 34 seconds left in the period.

UNH went on its only power play of the game at 8:28. Moments later, a shot by Marina Alvarez (Center Moriches, N.Y.) was stopped by Campbell.
The 'Cats continued to pressure in the offensive zone but did not get another shot attempt through to Campbell.
Blair was pulled in favor of an extra skater with 3:45 to play.
Campbell turned aside shots by Sadie Makokis (St. Albert, Alberta) and Hush within the next minute before BC called timeout at 17:15.
