DURHAM, N.H. - No. 12 Boston College shut out New Hampshire in the second half to tally a 5-2 victory. The 12-5 Eagles have won their last four games. Junior forward Bob Dirks's three points placed her at the top of the BC record books.

BC increased its lead at the 19:55 mark on a goal by senior forward Caitlyn Young. Young took the shot from the deep left side of the circle and her fourth goal of the season sailed inside the far post. Young has scored three goals in the Eagles' last four games.
