BOSTON (Interstat) — Boston College will host Providence in a women’s NCAA Division I hockey game on Saturday at Kelley Rink in Boston, Mass. The Eagles bring a 2-0 record into the matchup, while the Friars are 2-3. Boston College is seeking to remain unbeaten, and Providence is looking to rebound from a shutout loss in its most recent outing.

Providence fell 2-0 to Northeastern in its last game. Sophie Harold, Cali Cerruti and Emma Hofbauer each recorded two shots on goal for the Friars. Harold, a center, is a player to watch for Providence. She had two shots on goal in the loss to Northeastern and one shot on goal in a 3-0 victory over Sacred Heart earlier this season. The Friars have also posted a 4-2 win at Sacred Heart, a 3-0 home win over Sacred Heart, a 3-1 loss at Quinnipiac and a 6-1 home loss to Quinnipiac.

Boston College has opened with wins at Stonehill and at Holy Cross. Bailey Callaway is a player to watch for the Eagles. The goaltender made 14 saves on 15 shots in a 3-1 win at Holy Cross for her first win of the season. She also stopped all nine shots she faced in a 17-0 win at Stonehill. Ava Thomas had one goal and seven shots on goal against Holy Cross, while Penelope Lavoie added two assists and five shots on goal. Callaway’s play in net has helped Boston College begin the season with two victories.

Providence’s upcoming schedule includes two games at Clarkson, two at Maine and home-and-home sets with New Hampshire, Connecticut and Boston University. Boston College will host Merrimack, Cornell, Minnesota State and Vermont before home-and-home series with Connecticut and Boston University. The Eagles’ early schedule has them at home for several key matchups, while Providence will spend much of the coming weeks on the road.

Providence’s most recent win came against Sacred Heart, and the Friars have shown flashes of offense in the early season. Boston College has been strong at both ends, with Callaway anchoring the defense and Thomas and Lavoie contributing on offense. The matchup at Kelley Rink will test Providence’s ability to handle Boston College’s pace and depth. The Eagles will aim to use home ice to keep their perfect start intact, while the Friars seek a statement result against an in-state opponent.
