TAMPA, Fla. – Boston College and Quinnipiac each scored in the second period of today’s national semifinal, giving the Bobcats a two-goal lead after two.
Alex Tuch tucked a rebound behind Quinnipiac goalie Michael Garteig to get Boston College on the scoreboard just 23 seconds into the second period. Casey Fitzgerald kept the puck in play at the left point and fed Colin White in the slot. White’s shot deflected off Garteig’s pad onto Tuch’s stick.
