| The Yale men's hockey team gave it their all, but dropped a 6-2 decision to No. 12 Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass., on Tuesday. |
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.—Tyler Welsh and Justin Pearson scored goals, but it wasn’t enough for the Yale men’s hockey team who fell to No. 12 Boston College, 6-2, in a non-conference contest at Conte Forum on the BC campus Tuesday night.
After giving up the
first two goals of the game early in the opening frame, the Bulldogs—who played
without four skaters and one goalie with injuries—found the net to cut the lead
in half. Dante Palecco passed the puck to the point for defenseman Billy
Sweezey, who fired a shot off BC goalie Spencer Knight’s pads. Welsh
crashed the net and beat a defender to the rebound for a put-back from his
knees off the edge of the crease at 10:30. It was his third goal of the season.
Yale, outshot 30-25
overall, fell behind 4-1 before Pearson got the Bulldogs on the scoreboard with
a power-play goal. Welsh passed the puck across the lower slot to the sophomore
forward and Pearson (second goal) wristed it top shelf early in the third.
Nicholas
MacNab got the start between
the pipes for the Elis and made nine stops while allowing three tallies in the
first period before Corbin Kaczperski came on to finish the contest.
Kaczperski turned aside 15 BC shots.
The Bulldogs are off
this weekend and back in action on Dec. 6 and 7 at Union and RPI.
