Five different players contributed to the 6-3 victory, including freshman blue-lineman Sasha Nanji '13, who picked up a pair of goals and an assist for a career-high three points on the night.
The Big Green's (8-11-2, 5-9-1 ECAC Hockey) unrelenting pressure on BC (5-13-9,4-8-4 Hockey East) was a key factor in Dartmouth's triumphant comeback, head coach Mark Hudak said.
"[The pressure] makes the other team panic and they start to worry too much about the puck, instead of the other players," he said. "Their five players were watching the puck and not paying attention to where some of our other players were, and we were able to get in there for some really nice goals."
The Eagles struck early in the middle frame to extend their advantage to two, but co-captain Jenna Cunningham '10 responded 14 seconds later with the Big Green's first goal.
The offense hit its stride from there, collecting three more goals in the second period, with Nanji, Camille Dumais '13 and Jenna Hobeika '12 each finding the back of the net.
"It was great to see the goals come not only from different players but from different places," Hudak said.
Half of the goals scored were generated from the blue line area, he added.
Dartmouth captured the lead eight minutes into the second period. Nanji brought the puck up before directing it across to Dumais, who tipped it in to make the score 3-2.
Hudak said that the Big Green came out flat at the start of the match a tendency that the team will need to fix if it hopes to topple No. 7 Harvard University (10-5-4, 8-5-2 ECAC Hockey) this afternoon.
"Harvard is a team that you don't want to come out slow against," he said.
The Crimson, Dartmouth's ECAC Hockey and Ivy League rival, now stands third in the ECAC standings and has won five of the last six games against the Big Green.
Harvard hit a rough patch on Saturday with a 4-2 loss to Rensselaer Polytechnic University and a career-ending injury to its all-time winningest goalkeeper, Christina Kessler.
The senior's ACL injury dealt a serious blow to the team's defense. Kessler had recently notched her 64th career victory against Colgate University and will finish the season with a .9413 save percentage.
Now freshman Crimson goalie Laura Bellamy, a freshman, has to scramble to fill the gap left by Kessler's abrupt departure.
Bellamy still has the nation's fourth-best scoring defense supporting her out front, however, a group that includes team captains Cori Bassett and Kathryn Farni.
With both teams sporting relatively young rosters, the Big Green will try to give the Crimson a reason to stumble, and then will capitalize on the mistakes Harvard makes, Hudak said.
Dartmouth will look to continue its offensive spree by putting quick shots on the net while the defense will keep it simple, he added.
"We just want to keep the play in front of us and not give them good opportunities to make plays," Hudak said.
The Big Green converted three of its five power-play opportunities against the Eagles, matching its season high. The last time Dartmouth registered a .600 power-play percentage was against the University of Vermont on Dec. 31.
The Big Green will look to replicate its recent offensive success when it faces off against the Crimson at 4 p.m. this afternoon in Thompson Arena.
