UConn women’s hockey advanced to the Hockey East tournament final after taking down Boston College in overtime, 2-1, at Toscano Family Ice Forum.
Jada Habisch put the Huskies ahead 1-0 early in the first period. She skated ahead of the defense to gather a loose puck and created a breakaway opportunity that she finished in style.
Jada Habisch with space and she LEAVES NO DOUBT ‼️🤩🤩

After an uneventful second period, the Eagles tied it up early in the third. Despite three power-play opportunities and a 13-6 advantage in shots in the period, the Huskies couldn’t get the go-ahead goal in regulation.
But Kathryn Stockdale delivered in overtime. Megan Woodworth had the puck behind the net and found a streaking Stockdale, who sent in the game-winner.
