No. 13 Boston College and No. 14 Quinnipiac skated to a 1-1 tie on Friday evening in the NCAA Division I men's ice hockey regular-season opener for both teams at Conte Forum in Boston, Mass.
The visiting Bobcats opened the scoring on Alex Whelan's wrist shot from the left circle over the shoulder of BC netminder Joe Woll (28 saves) 15:10 into the second period. The host Eagles forged a tie with 4:01 remaining in regulation on Jacob Tortora's first career goal, as he put home a rebound to the left of Quinnipiac goaltender Andrew Shortridge (25 saves) on a power play. Shortridge had made a penalty-shot save on BC's David Cotton in the first period.
Each team registered three shots on goal in a scoreless overtime stanza. Quinnipiac outshot BC, 29-26, in all on the night, and now leads the all-time series between the two Eastern schools, 2-0-1.
Quinnipiac fell at Boston University, 3-2, in overtime on Sunday, while BC will host No. 12 Wisconsin on Friday night.
