Women's hockey defeats Eagles with four-goal comeback

Christopher Rhoades / The Dartmouth Staff Christopher Rhoades / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth women's hockey team shredded through Boston College's early two-goal lead with a four-goal surge in the second period to notch its second consecutive win on Wednesday. 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.
