McGowan hit freshman Matt Primm to his left, who then drew one of three B.C. defenders as he moved down to the left side of the net. Quickly looking back across the net, Primm's glance drew the off side defender away from the other side of the crease, leaving Watson alone on the far post.
Primm found Watson, and Watson cashed in.
And that was just the first 11 seconds of the period.
When the horn sounded, the Crimson had tallied eight goals in the final fifteen minutes.
Primm's assist at 14:49 was his fourth point of the afternoon and his first of what would be five in the final frame. The attackman finished his first collegiate game with six goals and two assists.
Attackmen Dana Sprong and Watson, both fixtures in last year's offense, were pervasive around the crease yesterday, continuously producing throughout the game. Watson ended up with three goals and three assists, while Sprong netted two and set up another four.
Senior attackman Lawson DeVries, who had trouble finding his rhythm last season, also got off to a good start with a goal and a pair of helpers.
