Top-seeded Boston College Eagles faced off against tournament newcomer Bentley Falcons, ultimately emerging victorious with a 3-1 win.

The Eagles' high-powered offense was mostly stymied by Bentley until the third period. Gabe Perreault scored the first goal for BC, assisted by Ryan Leonard and James Hagens. 

The Falcons refused to back down, with Ethan Leyh tying the game in the second period. 

In a thrilling finish, James Hagens scored the go-ahead goal with just one minute left to play, and Ryan Leonard sealed the win with an empty-net goal, sending the Eagles to the next round and ending the Falcons' impressive postseason run. 

Key players, including Leonard, Hagens, and Perreault, played crucial roles in Boston College's hard-fought victory.
