The intermission gave new life to B.U., which submerged Galuppo under a barrage of shots at the beginning of the third period. While the Eagles goalie fended off attack for the first 12 minutes of the final period, Ronan backhanded a rebound off the backboard past Galuppo at 12:34.

"In the third period, we thought we could keep it going," B.C. Coach Ben Ceglarski said. "We just couldn't get good shots."
