Boston College honored its 2001 NCAA championship team following the first period tonight at Conte Forum. The current group of Eagles then rebounded to claim a 5-3 win over visiting Northeastern in the Hockey East opener for both schools.
Marc McLaughlin scored twice for BC (2-0-1 overall, 1-0-0 Hockey East), while Jack McBain had three assists and Eric Dop made 22 saves for the victory. Aidan McDonough had two goals for the Huskies (2-2-0, 0-1-0), while Devon Levi had 32 stops. BC scored three times in the third period to break a 2-2 tie after 40 minutes.
BC defeated North Dakota, 3-2, in overtime in Albany, N.Y.. in April 2001 to earn its first national hockey title in 52 years. Nearly two dozen members of that team were presented at tonight's NU-BC contest, and they will also be honored on Saturday night at halftime of the North Carolina State-BC football game at Alumni Stadium.
