TAMPA, Fla. — A pair of first-period goals and an insistent forecheck have given Quinnipiac a 2-0 lead over Boston College after one period.
Andrew Taverner’s sixth goal of the season at 7:20 of the first period gave the Bobcats the two-goal lead. Taverner snuck down the slot and steered in a pass fed from behind the goal line by Travis St. Denis.
